Condensation forms during opera-
tion of the air conditioning system, 

which then exits under the vehicle. 
Traces of condensed water of this kind 
are thus normal.

You can respond to unpleasant 
external odors or pollutants by 

temporarily stopping the flow of outside 
air. The system then recirculates the air 
currently within the vehicle.

By repeatedly pressing the button, you 
can select one of three different operat-
ing modes.
> Indicator lamps off: outside air always 

flowing into the vehicle

> Left-hand indicator lamp on – auto-

matic mode: the system detects pol-
lutants in the outside air and 
responds by deactivating the outside 
airflow as required. The system then 
recirculates the air currently within 
the vehicle.
Depending on air quality require-
ments, the system automatically 
switches between outside air supply 
and recirculation of the air already 
within the vehicle

> Right-hand indicator lamp on: the 

flow of outside air is permanently 
blocked. The system recirculates the 
air already within the vehicle.

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

recirculated-air mode off and increase 
the air supply as required.

<

When the rear window defroster 
is activated, the indicator lamp 

comes on. The rear window defroster 
switches off automatically after a short 
while.

You can have your vehicle pro-
grammed in such a way that the 

rear window defroster switches on 
automatically. This occurs within 5 min-
utes after starting the engine when out-
side temperatures are below approx. 
39

7/+46.

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

1 Rotary dials for infinitely variable 

opening and closing of the vents

2 Lever for adjusting airflow direction

3 With the rotary dial, you can add 

more or less cool air to the air coming 
from the outlets for the upper body 
area:
> Turn toward blue – colder

> Turn toward red – warmer.
