A congenial climate

For almost all conditions, the AUTO pro-
gram

12 offers the optimal air distribution and

air volume. Select an interior temperature you
find pleasant.
The following section contains more detailed
information on the available setting options.

Your vehicle has been designed to auto-
matically select your personal climate-

control settings whenever you unlock the doors
using your individually programmed remote
control.

Automatic air distribution and supply

The AUTO program adjusts the
airflow and distribution patterns for
you while also using your prese-

lected temperature setting as the basis for
adjusting the interior climate to adapt to exter-
nal influences: summer, winter.
The cooling is switched on automatically with
the AUTO program.

Individual air distribution

You can cancel the AUTO program
by selecting specific air distribu-
tion patterns for your personal
comfort, the automatic air supply
remains in operation. You can
direct air to flow onto the win-

dows

, toward the upper body

, and into

the footwell

. You can reactivate the auto-

matic air distribution mode by selecting the
AUTO button.

Adjusting temperature

The figures in the display provide a
general indication of interior tem-
perature. When you start the vehi-
cle, the AUTO program ensures
that the selected temperature is
achieved as quickly as possible. It

then maintains this temperature, regardless of
the season.

Air supply/blower

You can vary the air supply by
pressing the upper or lower button.
This switches off the automatic
program for the air supply, and the
word AUTO goes out in the dis-
play. The automatic mode for air

distribution remains in operation as before. You
can reactivate the automatic air supply mode by
selecting the AUTO button.
If you press the lower button when at the lowest
blower speed, all displays go out: the blower,
heating and air conditioner are switched off.
The outside air supply is shut off. You can
restart the automatic climate control by press-
ing any of its buttons.

Defrosting windows and removing
condensation

This program quickly removes ice
and condensation from the wind-
shield and door windows.

Air conditioner

When the air conditioning is on,
the air is cooled, dehumidified,
and then reheated depending on

the temperature setting. Depending on the
weather, the windshield may fog over briefly
when the engine is started. The air conditioner
reduces the formation of condensation on the
windows.
The air conditioner can only operate when the
engine is running and is automatically switched
on with the AUTO program.

Condensation forms in the air conditioner
system during operation, and then exits

under the vehicle. Traces of condensed water
under the vehicle are therefore normal.

Outside air/AUC Automatic

recirculated-air control/recirculated-
air mode

You can respond to unpleasant
odors or pollutants in the immedi-
ate environment by suspending

the supply of outside air. The system then recir-
