Controlling the climate for pleasant driving

Tips for pleasant driving

Use the automatic system – switch on with
AUTO button 6. Select the desired interior
temperature.

Detailed setting options are described for
you below.

Automatic air distribution and supply

The AUTO program assumes the
adjustment of the air distribution
and air supply for you and in addi-
tion adapts the temperature to

external influences, summer or winter, to
meet preferences you can specify.
In the AUTO program, the air conditioning
mode is also turned on at the same time.

The AUTO program functions only to
a limited extent when the convertible

top is open.

Individual air distribution

You yourself can direct airflow
onto the windows

, toward the

upper body

and into the foot-

well

. The arrow lights up. The

automatic air supply remains unchanged.
All intermediate settings are possible. By
pressing the AUTO button, you can reacti-
vate the air distribution.

Temperature

The interior temperature that
appears on the display panel is a
general figure intended for refer-
ence purposes. When you start

the vehicle, the system ensures that the
selected temperature is reached as quickly
as possible, regardless of the season. It
then maintains this temperature.

Air supply/blower

You can set the blower through
an infinitely variable range of
speeds. This shuts off the auto-
matic air supply. The arrow lights

up. The automatic air distribution remains
unchanged. You can reactivate the auto-
matic air supply by pressing the AUTO but-
ton.

When you turn the rotary control toward
zero: the blower, heating and air condi-
tioner are switched off, and the air supply is
stopped. You can reactivate the system by
turning the control toward the right again.

To defrost windows and remove
condensation

This program quickly removes ice
and condensation from the wind-
shield and the side windows.

Maximum cooling

Above an outside temperature of
41

7/+56 and with the engine

running, you achieve a maximum
cooling effect as quickly as possi-

ble. At the same time, the air conditioning is
turned on.

The temperature is set to the lowest possi-
ble value. The system switches into the
recirculated air mode and air flows at max-
imum blower speed from the air outlets
only. Therefore, the air outlets must always
be open when you select this program.

Air conditioning

The air is cooled and dehumidi-
fied and, depending on the tem-
perature setting, rewarmed.
Depending on the weather, the

windshield may fog over briefly when the
engine is started.

The air conditioning system is automati-
cally switched on when you use the AUTO
program.

Condensation forms during operation
of the air conditioning system, which

then exits under the vehicle. Traces of con-
densed water on the ground underneath
the vehicle are thus normal.
