Air conditioner 
The air is cooled and 
dehumidified 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.

Maximum cooling 
You will get maximum 
cooling capacity using this 
program if the engine is running and 
the outside temperature is above 
approx. +41 7 (+5 6).
The temperature display 9 jumps to 
+60 7 (+16 6), the system switches 
over to the recirculated-air mode, and 
the air streams out of the ventilation grill 
with the maximum amount of flow. That 
is why you need to keep these open if 
you select this program. 
Automatic recirculated-air 
control (AUC) 
If there are unpleasant 
odors or pollutants in the 
outside air, you can temporarily block 
the airflow from the outside. The 
system then recirculates the air 
currently within the vehicle. 
Press the button repeatedly to run 
through the following control sequence:
>
Indicator lamps off: outside air supply 
operational
>
Left-hand indicator lamp on – AUC 
mode: the system recognizes pollut-
ants in the outside air and blocks the 
flow of air when necessary. The 
system then recirculates the air 
currently within the vehicle. 
Depending on the air quality, the 
automatic system then switches back 
and forth between outside air supply 
and recirculation of the air within the 
vehicle 
>
Right-hand indicator lamp on: the 
outside air supply into the vehicle is 
completely blocked. The system then 
recirculates the air currently within 
the vehicle. 
If you have a steering wheel with multi-
function buttons with the button for 
recirculated-air mode (refer to page 
you can also use this button to switch 
between "Off" and the recirculated-air 
mode or AUC and the recirculated-air 
mode. 
If the windows fog over in the 
recirculated-air mode, switch the 
recirculated-air mode off and increase 
the air supply as required.

Rear window defroster 
When the rear window 
defroster is activated, 
the indicator lamp comes on. The 
rear window defroster switches off 
automatically.
