Automatic climate control

Residual heat mode

The heat which is stored in
the engine is utilized for

heating the interior when the engine
has been switched off (while waiting at
a railroad crossing, for instance). In
ignition key position 1, you can alter the
settings of the automatic climate
control. With the ignition key in posi-
tion 0, the system automatically directs
heated air to the windshield, side
windows and footwells.

This function may be activated
when the outside temperature is

below approx. +59 7 (+15 6), the
engine is at operating temperature, and
the battery is adequately charged. The
LED on the button will light up when all
conditions have been met.

Draft-free ventilation

You can adjust the vent outlets for the
upper body area to select the optimum
airflow rates and directions for your
personal comfort:

1 Rotary dials for opening and closing

the vent outlets through an infinitely-
variable range

2 Selector levers for airflow direction

3 With the rotary dial you can adjust the

temperature of the incoming air.
