Air volume
You can vary the air volume in 
steps 1 through 4. The heating or 
cooling output is more effective 
with a higher air volume.
Switching system on/off
Turn air volume rotary switch to 0. This com-
pletely shuts off the blower and air conditioning 
system and stops the flow of air.
To switch on the air conditioning system, set an 
arbitrary air volume.
Temperature
To increase the temperature, turn 
to the right, toward red.
For a lower temperature, turn the 
rotary switch counterclockwise 
toward blue.
Air distribution
You can direct air to flow onto the 
windows 
, toward the upper 
body 
 and into the footwell 
Intermediate settings are possible.
Rear window defroster
The rear window heating switches 
off automatically after a certain 
amount of time. Depending on 
your equipment package, the upper wires are 
used as an antenna and are not part of the rear 
window defroster.
Switching cooling function on/off
When the cooling function is on, 
the air is cooled, dehumidified, and 
then reheated depending on the 
temperature setting. This function is only avail-
able with the engine running.
The cooling function helps to prevent conden-
sation from forming on the windows or to 
remove it quickly.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may 
fog over briefly when the engine is started.
Recirculated-air mode
You can respond to unpleasant 
odors outside the vehicle by tem-
porarily suspending the supply of 
outside air. The system then recirculates the air 
currently within the vehicle.
If condensation starts to form on the 
inside window surfaces during operation 
in recirculated-air mode, you should switch it off 
and increase the air supply as needed. 
The recirculated-air mode should not be used 
over a sustained period of time; otherwise, the 
air quality inside the vehicle will steadily deteri-
orate.
