Air conditioner

Temperature

The graduations on the dial
provide general reference
values for the interior temper-
ature. We recommend +72 7

(+22 6) as a comfortable setting. When
you start the vehicle, the system
adjusts the air to the selected tempera-
ture as quickly as possible, and then
maintains that temperature constantly.

Air distribution

You can direct air to flow onto
the windows

, toward the

upper body

and into the

footwell

. All intermediate

settings are possible. In the

setting,

there is a low flow of air onto the
windows to keep them free of conden-
sation.

Air supply

You can adjust the air supply
through an infinitely-variable
range. The heating and venti-
lation become more and more

effective as the air supply settings are
increased. In the "0" setting, the blower
and climate control are switched off
and the outside air supply is blocked.

Rear window defroster

When the rear window
defroster is activated, the

indicator lamp comes on. The rear
window defroster switches off automat-
ically.

Cooling

The air is cooled and dehu-
midified and — depending on

the temperature setting — warmed
again when the air conditioner system
is switched on. Depending on the
weather, the windshield may fog over
briefly when the engine is started. You
can reduce condensation forming on
the windows by switching on the air
conditioner.

Condensation forms in the air
conditioner system during opera-

tion, which then exits under the vehicle.
Traces of condensed water of this kind
are thus normal.

Recirculated-air mode

You can respond to
unpleasant odors outside the

vehicle by temporarily switching off the
outside air supply. The system then
recirculates the air currently within the
vehicle.

If you have a steering wheel with multi-
function buttons with the button for the
recirculated-air mode, you can also use
this button to switch to the recirculated-
air mode, refer to page

If the windows fog over in the
recirculated-air mode, switch the

recirculated-air mode off and increase
the air supply as required.
