Automatic climate control

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

recirculated air off and increase the air
supply as required.

Rear window defroster

When the rear window de-
froster is activated, the in-

dicator lamp comes on. The rear win-
dow defroster switches off
automatically.

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 con-
trol. With the ignition key in position 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.

Draft-free ventilation

You can adjust the blower controls for
the upper body area to select the opti-
mum airflow rates and directions for
your personal comfort:

Use rotary dials 1 to open and close the
air outlets through an infinitely-variable
range. You can adjust the direction of
the airflow with levers 2.

Set the outlets so that the air flows past
you and does not flow directly on you.

Rotary dial 3 allows you to control the
temperature of the air flow from these
air outlets as desired:

Turn toward blue – colder

Turn toward red – warmer
