Automatic climate control

Air conditioning

The air is cooled and
dehumidified and —

depending on the temperature setting —
warmed again. 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
conditioning.

During air conditioning condensa-
tion forms, 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 air supply. 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 air supply 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.
