CONTROLS

If condensation starts to form on the inside win-
dow surfaces, press the AUTO button or switch
off the recirculated-air mode and, if necessary,
increase the air flow rate. Ensure that air can
flow onto the windshield.
The recirculated-air mode is automatically deac-
tivated at low outside temperatures.

The recirculated-air mode should not be
used over an extended period of time;

otherwise, the air quality in the passenger com-
partment will deteriorate continuously.

Maximum cooling

The automatic climate control
switches to the lowest tempera-
ture, high airflow and the recircu-

lated-air mode.
For maximum cooling, open the air vents for the
upper body area.

Temperature

Set the desired temperature individually.
The automatic climate control achieves
this temperature as quickly as possible

matic climate control does not have enough
time to achieve the set temperature.

Cooling function

When the cooling function is on,

partment can only be cooled while

the engine is running.
The cooling function helps prevent condensa-
tion on the windows or removes it quickly.
