Switching cooling function on and off
The cooling function cools and 
dehumidifies the incoming air 
before also reheating it as 
required, according to the temperature setting. 
This function is only available when the engine 
is running.
The cooling function helps to avoid condensa-
tion on the window surfaces or to quickly 
remove them.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may 
fog over briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati-
cally with the AUTO program.
Maximum cooling
Maximally cooled air is obtained as 
quickly as possible at an outside 
temperature above approx. 32
7/
0
6 and with the engine running.
The automatic climate control switches into the 
recirculated-air mode at the lowest tempera-
ture. The maximum air volume flows out of the 
air vents for the upper body. Therefore, open 
these vents for maximum cooling.
AUC Automatic recirculated-air 
control/recirculated-air mode
You can respond to pollutants or 
unpleasant odors in the immediate 
environment by suspending the 
supply of outside air. The system 
then recirculates the air currently within the 
vehicle. During AUC operation, a sensor 
detects pollutants in the outside air and con-
trols the shut-off automatically.
