culated air mode fully blocks the

supply of air from outside.

Rear window defroster

Rear window defroster 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.

Windshield heating*

Windshield heating switched on:
Indicator lamp lights up.
As long as the indicator lamp is

lit, the heating operates at high power out-
put – rapid defrosting.

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

Air conditioning

Air conditioner switched on:
Indicator lamp lights up.
The air is cooled and dehumidi-

fied and – depending on the temperature
setting – rewarmed.
After the engine start, the windshield may
fog over briefly.

When the air conditioner is operat-
ing, condensation is formed which

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
vehicle is blocked:
Indicator lamp lights up.

The air within the vehicle is recirculated.

Do not run the recirculated air mode
for longer than approx. 30 minutes,

as otherwise the air quality in the interior
will deteriorate.

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

air mode off and if necessary increase the
air supply.
