Maximum cooling

At outside temperatures above
32

7/0 6 and when the engine is

running, you obtain a maximum
cooling effect as soon as possible.

The automatic climate control switches to the
lowest temperature and operates in recircu-
lated-air mode. Air flows at maximum rate only
from the vents for the upper body area. You
should therefore open them for maximum cool-
ing.

AUTO program

The AUTO program adjusts the air
distribution to the windshield and
side windows, towards the upper

body area and into the footwell for you. The air
flow rate and your temperature specifications
will be adapted to outside influences as a result
of seasonal changes, e.g. sunlight or window
condensation.
The cooling is switched on automatically with
the AUTO program.

Intensity of the AUTO program

You can set the intensity of the air supply in the
AUTO program. This changes the duration of
time during which the vehicle interior is heated
or cooled.

Open the start menu.

Call up "Climate".

Select "Automatic programs" and press the
controller.

Select the desired field.

Press the controller to set the desired inten-
sity.

The selected intensity level of the auto-

matic program is switched on.

Adjusting air flow rate manually

Press the left side of the button to
reduce airflow. Press the right side
of the button to increase it.

You can reactivate the automatic mode for the
air flow rate with the AUTO button.

Switching the system on/off

With the blower at its lowest setting, press the
left side of the button to switch off the auto-
matic climate control. All indicators go out.
Press any button except REST to reactivate the
automatic climate control.

AUC Automatic recirculated-air
control/Recirculated-air mode

Switch on the desired operating
mode by pressing this button
repeatedly:

LEDs off: outside air flows in continuously.

Left-hand LED on, AUC mode: a sensor
detects pollutants in the outside air. If nec-
essary, the system blocks the supply of out-
side air and recirculates the inside air. As
soon as the concentration of pollutants in
the outside air has decreased sufficiently,
the system automatically switches back to
outside air supply.

Right-hand LED on, recirculated-air mode:
the supply of outside air is permanently
shut off. The system then recirculates the
air currently within the vehicle.

If condensation starts to form on the
inside window surfaces during operation

in the recirculated-air mode, you should switch
it off while also increasing the air flow rate as
required.
The recirculated-air mode should not be used
over an extended period of time, otherwise the
air quality inside the car will deteriorate contin-
uously.
