Automatic climate control

Tips for pleasant driving

Use the automatic system – switch on
with AUTO button 7. Select the desired
interior temperature.

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

Automatic air distribution

The AUTO program adjusts the
air distribution and the air

supply for you and in addition 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
distribution patterns to suit your
own individual requirements.

While the AUTO program is then deacti-
vated, the automatic airflow control
remains in operation. The system
directs air to the windows

, the upper

body

and into the footwells

. You

can reactivate the automatic air distri-
bution mode by selecting the AUTO
button.

Temperature

The interior temperature that
appears in the display panel is a

general figure intended for reference
purposes. We recommend 72 7
(+22 6) as a comfortable setting, even
if the air conditioning is on. When you
start the vehicle, the system ensures
that the selected temperature is
achieved as quickly as possible regard-
less of the season. It then maintains this
temperature.

Air supply

By pressing the left or right half
of the button, you can vary the

air supply. This deactivates the auto-
matic control of the air supply, AUTO
disappears from the display panel.
Nevertheless, the automatic air distri-
bution remains unchanged. You can
reactivate the automatic air distribution
mode by selecting the AUTO button.

When you select the lowest blower
speed by pressing the left half of the
button, all of the displays are canceled:
the blower, heating and air conditioning
are switched off. The outside air supply
is blocked. You can reactivate the
system by pressing any button for the
automatic climate control.

To defrost windows and remove
condensation

This program quickly removes
ice and condensation from the

windshield and the side windows.

Air conditioning

The air is cooled and dehumidi-
fied and – depending on the

temperature setting – rewarmed.
Depending on the weather, the wind-
shield may fog over briefly when the
engine is started. Switching on the air
conditioning will reduce condensation
forming on the windows.

As the air-conditioning system
operates, condensation forms

within the system.This moisture is
conducted to an outlet beneath the
vehicle; it is thus not unusual for a small
puddle to form under the car while the
system is running.
