Turn the controller to adjust the air distribu-
tion.
Driver's side:
Air directed toward the windshield and side 
windows
Air for the upper body
Air to footwell
Front passenger side:
Air for the upper body
Air to footwell
Pressing the AUTO button cancels the 
manual air distribution settings.
<
The automatic mode for the air volume remains 
effective with manual air distribution.
Switching cooling function on and off
The cooling function cools and 
dehumidifies the incoming air 
before also reheating it as 
required, according to the temperature setting. 
Depending on the weather, the windshield may 
fog over briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati-
cally with the AUTO program. The passenger 
compartment can only be cooled with the 
engine running.
Maximum cooling
Maximally cooled air is obtained as 
quickly as possible at an outside 
temperature above approx. 32
7/06 and with 
the engine running.
The automatic climate control changes over to 
the lowest temperature and switches into the 
recirculated-air mode. The maximum air vol-
ume only flows out of the vents for the upper 
body. Therefore, open these vents for maxi-
mum cooling.
AUC Automatic recirculated-air 
control/recirculated-air mode
You can respond to pollutants or 
unpleasant odors in the immediate 
environment by suspending the 
supply of outside air. The system then recircu-
lates the air currently within the vehicle. During 
AUC operation, a sensor detects pollutants in 
the outside air and controls the shut-off auto-
matically.
By pressing the button repeatedly, you can 
request three operating modes:
>
LED off: outside air flows in continuously.
>
Right LED on, AUC mode: the system 
detects pollutants in the outside air and 
shuts off the supply as needed.
>
Left LED on, recirculated-air mode: the 
supply of outside air is permanently shut off.
Should the windows fog up in the recircu-
lated-air mode, press the AUTO button or 
switch off the recirculated-air mode and 
increase the air volume if necessary. 
The recirculated-air mode should not be used 
over an extended period of time, as the air qual-
ity inside the vehicle deteriorates continu-
ously.
<
Residual heat
The heat stored in the engine is 
used to heat the passenger com-
partment, e.g. while stopped at a 
school to pick up a child.
1.
Switch off the engine.
2.
Turn to the right, see arrow.
The function can be switched on when the fol-
lowing conditions are met:
>
up to 15 minutes after switching off the 
engine
>
with engine at operating temperature
>
with sufficient battery voltage
