Follow the recommended settings for heat-
ing and cooling given on the following pag-
es. Otherwise the windows could fog up, 
impairing visibility and endangering you and 
others.
i
Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollution) 
may require replacement of the filter before its 
scheduled interval. A clogged filter will reduce 
the air volume to the interior.
If the vehicle interior is hot, ventilate the interior 
before driving off, see “Summer opening fea-
ture” (
page 239). The automatic climate con-
trol will then adjust the interior temperature to 
the set value much faster.
Keep the air intake grille in front of the wind-
shield free of snow and debris.
Warning!
