AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

Automatic air distribution and supply

Automatic program (AUTO):
Indicator lamp lights up.

Automatic adjustment of the air distribu-
tion and supply, and adaptation of the
specified temperatures to external influ-
ences, i.e. outside temperature and sun-
light.

In the automatic program (AUTO), the air
conditioner is activated automatically.

You can change the unit from

6 to

7 by keeping extended pressure on

the button.

Switching the automatic climate
control on/off

The blower, heating and air condi-
tioner are switched off.

To switch the automatic climate control on
again: Press any button of the automatic
climate control.

Air conditioning

Air conditioner switched on: indi-
cator lamp lights up.

The air is cooled and dehumidified and –
depending on the temperature setting –
rewarmed.

In the automatic program (AUTO), the air
conditioner is activated automatically.
Condensation on the windows is reduced
when the air conditioning is turned on.

Condensation forms in the air condi-
tioning system during operation, and

then exits under the vehicle. Traces of con-
densed water on the ground are therefore
normal.

Recirculated air mode

Supply of outside air into the vehi-
cle is blocked: indicator lamp lights

up.
The air within the vehicle is recirculated.

In the automatic program (AUTO) in hot
weather conditions, the recirculated air
mode is activated temporarily to enable
faster cooling.

Do not run the recirculated air mode
over a longer period of time, as the air

quality in the vehicle's interior will other-
wise diminish.

If the windows fog up in the recircu-
lated air mode, turn the recirculated

air mode off and if necessary increase the
air supply.

Rear window defroster and windshield
heating*

Rear window defroster and wind-
shield heating switched on:

Indicator lamp lights up.
As long as the indicator lamp is lit, the
heating operates at high power output –
rapid defrosting.

Indicator lamp goes out.
The heating continues to run with reduced
power output and then switches itself off
automatically.

Temperature

Setting the temperature:
Move or turn the wheel in the
appropriate direction to increase
the temperature step by step.

The figures in the display provide a general
indication of interior temperature. When
you start the vehicle, the system ensures
that the selected temperature is achieved
as quickly as possible and then maintained.

Permanent heating with maximum
power output at temperature selec-

tion HI. Permanent cooling at LO.
