The current setting for air distribution is dis-
played on the Control Display.
A congenial climate
For almost all conditions, the AUTO program 
offers the optimal air distribution and air vol-
ume. Select an interior temperature you find 
pleasant.
The following section contains more detailed 
information on the available setting options.
AUTO program
The AUTO program handles the 
adjustment of air distribution to the 
windshield and side windows, in 
the direction of the upper body, and in the foot-
well, as well as the adjustment of the air volume. 
It also adapts your instructions for the tempera-
ture to outside influences throughout the year.
The cooling is switched on automatically with 
the AUTO program. At the same time, a con-
densation sensor controls the program in such 
a way that window condensation is prevented 
as much as possible.
Temperature adjustment
By rotating, you can set a desired 
temperature for the driver's side 
and the passenger side. 
After you start to drive, this system 
ensures that the selected temperature is 
achieved as quickly as possible. It then main-
tains this temperature, regardless of the sea-
son.
Defrosting windows and removing 
condensation
This program quickly removes ice 
and condensation from the wind-
shield and front side windows.
Air volume, manual
You can adjust the air volume by 
turning. You can reactivate the 
automatic mode for the air volume 
with the AUTO button.
Switching cooling function on and off 
manually
The cooling function cools and 
dehumidifies the incoming air 
before reheating it as needed 
according to the temperature setting. Depend-
ing on the weather, the windshield may fog over 
briefly when the engine is started.
The air conditioner can operate only when the 
engine is running. The AUTO program auto-
matically switches on the air conditioner.
Maximum cooling
This program quickly provides 
maximum cooling.
The system switches to the recir-
culated-air mode and the air flows 
at maximum air volume only from the vent out-
lets for the upper body area. For this reason you 
should ensure that these vent outlets are open 
before selecting this program.
AUC automatic recirculated-air 
control/recirculated air mode
You can respond to unpleasant 
odors or pollutants in the immedi-
ate environment by temporarily 
suspending the supply of outside air. The sys-
tem then recirculates the air currently within the 
vehicle. In AUC mode, a sensor detects pollut-
ants in the outside air and controls the shut-off 
automatically.
Press the button repeatedly to run through the 
following control sequence:
>
LED off: outside air flows into the vehicle 
continuously.
>
Right LED on, AUC mode: the system 
detects pollutants in the outside air and 
responds by blocking the supply of outside 
air when required.
>
Left LED on, recirculated-air mode: the 
supply of outside air into the vehicle is shut 
off continuously.
If condensation starts to form on the 
inside window surfaces during operation 
in the recirculated-air mode, you should switch
