Notes on using automatic climate
control
The following contains instructions and
recommendations to enable you to get the
most out of your automatic climate control.
R Activate climate control using the à and
¿ buttons. The indicator lamps in
the à and ¿ buttons light up.
R Set the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
R Only use the defrosting function briefly
until the windshield is clear again.
R Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
if there are unpleasant outside odors or
when in a tunnel. The windows could
otherwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn
into the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.

adopt the temperature and air distribution
settings from the driver's side for all
climate control zones. The indicator lamp
in the º button lights up.
