Climate

118

By pressing the button repeatedly, you can
request three operating modes:

LED off: outside air flows in continuously.

Left LED on, AUC mode: the system
detects pollutants in the outside air and
shuts off the supply as needed.

Right LED on, recirculated-air mode: the
supply of outside air is permanently shut off.

Should the windows fog up in the recircu-
lated-air mode, press the AUTO button or

switch off the recirculated-air mode and
increase the air volume if necessary.
The recirculated-air mode should not be used
without interruption over an extended period of
time, as the air quality inside the vehicle deteri-
orates continuously.

Residual heat

The heat stored in the engine is used to heat the
passenger compartment, e.g. while stopped at
a school to pick up a child.

Switching on

Pressing the right side switches on
the residual heat utilization when
the following conditions are met:

up to 15 minutes after switching off the
engine

with the engine at operating temperature

with sufficient battery voltage

at an outside temperature below 77

REST appears on the display of the automatic
climate control when the residual heat utiliza-
tion is switched on.
From radio readiness the interior temperature,
the air volume and the air distribution can be
set.

Switching off

You can select the lowest blower speed by
pressing and holding the left side. Pressing
again switches off the residual heat utilization.
REST disappears from the display of the auto-
matic climate control.

Switching automatic climate control on
and off

You can select the lowest blower
speed by pressing and holding the
left side. Pressing again switches

off the automatic climate control.
You switch on the system again by pressing any
button of the automatic climate control.

Front ventilation

1 Serrated dials to smoothly open and close

air vents

2 Levers to change the air vent direction

Do not drop any foreign objects into the
air vents, otherwise these could be cata-

pulted outwards and lead to injuries.

Ventilation for cooling

Adjust the air vents to direct the flow of cool air
in your direction, for instance, if the interior has
become too warm, etc.

Draft-free ventilation

Set the air vents so that the air flows past you
and is not directed straight at you.
