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

which then exits under the vehicle. It is 
thus not unusual for a small puddle to 
form under the car while the system is 
running.

<

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.

Press the button repeatedly to select 
one of three different operating modes.
> Indicator lamps off: outside airflow is 

on

> Left indicator lamp on – automatic 

mode: the system recognizes pollut-
ants in the outside air and blocks the 
flow of air when necessary. The sys-
tem 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 indicator lamp on: the flow of 

outside air into the vehicle is perma-

nently blocked. The system then 
recirculates the air currently within 
the vehicle.

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

this mode off and increase the air sup-
ply as required.

<

With the convertible top closed 
or with the hardtop

* mounted, 

press the button. 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 vent out-
lets

2 Levers for 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:
> Rotate toward blue – colder

> Turn toward red – warmer.
