Automatic climate control

Tips for pleasant driving

Use the automatic system; that is press
AUTO button 6. Select an interior
temperature that is comfortable for you.

Detailed setting options are described
for you in the following section.

Your vehicle is set in such a
manner that, when you unlock the

vehicle via remote control with your
personalized key, your own setting for
the automatic climate control is initi-
ated.

Automatic air distribution

The AUTO program
assumes the adjustment of

the air distribution and the air supply for
you and also adapts the temperature to
external influences (summer, winter) to
meet preferences you can specify.

Individual air distribution

You can cancel the AUTO
program by selecting
specific air distribution
patterns for your personal
comfort, the automatic air

supply remains in operation. You can
direct air to flow onto the windows

toward the upper body

, and into the

footwell

. You can reactivate the

automatic air distribution mode by
selecting the AUTO button.

Temperature

You can make individual
temperature settings on the
driver's side or the front

passenger side. Your settings will be
shown in the display 9. The displayed
temperatures are reference values for
the interior temperature. We recom-
mend +72 7 (+22 6) as a comfortable
setting, whether the air conditioner is
operating or not. When you start the
vehicle, this system ensures that the
selected temperature is achieved as
quickly as possible. It then maintains
this temperature, regardless of the
season.

Air supply

In the AUTO program, the
air supply is controlled

automatically. AUTO will appear in the
display 9, refer to the overview on
page

. Use "+" and "–" to vary the

air supply. When your setting is
displayed by bars, the automatic air
supply is switched off. Automatic air
distribution maintains its setting. You
can reactivate the automatic air supply
by pressing the AUTO button.

When you press "–" during operation at
minimum blower speed all displays are
canceled: the blower, heating and air
conditioner are switched off. The out-
side air supply is closed. You can
switch the system back on by pressing
any button of the automatic climate
control.

sation from the windshield and the side
