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.

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.

Via the button* on the steering wheel

You can switch between operating modes via a
button

on the steering wheel, refer to page

When outside air is coming in, you can use
the button on the steering wheel to switch
between outside air and recirculated-air
mode.

When recirculated-air mode or AUC mode
is switched on, you can use the button on
the steering wheel to switch between recir-
culated-air mode and AUC mode.

Residual heat

The heat stored in the engine is
used to heat the passenger com-
partment, e.g. while stopped at a
school to pick up a child.

The function can be switched on when the fol-
lowing conditions are met:

Up to 15 minutes after the engine has been
switched off

While the engine is at operating tempera-
ture

As long as battery voltage is sufficient

At an outside temperature below 77

The LED is lit when the function is on.
As of radio readiness, you can set the interior
temperature, the air flow rate and the air distri-
bution.
