Air conditioner
Temperature
The graduations on the dial
provide general reference val-
ues for the interior tempera-
ture. 70
7/226 is recom-
mended as a comfortable setting. After
driving begins, the selected tempera-
ture is reached as quickly as possible
and kept constant by the control sys-
tem.
Air distribution
You can direct air to flow onto
the windows
, toward the
upper body and into the
footwell . All intermediate
settings are possible. In the setting,
there is a low flow of air onto the win-
dows to keep them free of condensa-
tion.
Air supply
You can adjust the air supply
through an infinitely-variable
range. The heating and venti-
lation become more and more
effective as the air supply settings are
increased. In the 0 setting, the blower
and climate control are switched off
and the outside air supply is blocked.
Rear window defroster
When the rear window
defroster is activated, the
LED lights up. The rear window
defroster switches off automatically.
Air conditioning
The air is cooled and dehu-
midified and — depending on
the temperature setting — warmed
again. Depending on the weather, the
windshield may fog over briefly when
the engine is started. You can reduce
condensation forming on the windows
by switching on the air conditioning.
During air conditioning, condensa-
tion forms, which then exits under
the vehicle. Traces of water on the
ground are therefore normal.

Recirculated-air mode
You can respond to unpleas-
ant odors outside the vehicle
by temporarily switching off the outside
air supply. The system then recirculates
the air currently within the vehicle.
You can also use the button on the
steering wheel to switch over to the
recirculated-air mode, refer to page 23.
If the windows fog over in the
recirculated-air mode, switch the
recirculated-air mode off and increase
the air supply as required.
