You can have your car configured 
so as to have the cooling function 
switched on automatically when the 
engine starts.

Moisture condensate forms when 
the air conditioning is in operation; 
this condensation is discharged under-
neath the car. Traces of water on the 
ground are therefore normal.

Outside air/Automatic 
recirculated air control (AUC)/ 
recirculated air
If there are strong smells or pol-
lutants outside the car, you can 
temporarily switch off the supply of out-
side air. The air inside the car is then 
recirculated.
Obtain the desired operating mode by 
pressing the button as often as neces-
sary.
> Telltale lights off: permanent airflow 
from outside the car
> Left telltale light on – AUC operation: 
the system identifies pollutants in the 
outside air and shuts off the supply if 
necessary. The air inside the car is 
then recirculated. After this, the auto-
matic system switches between out-
side air supply and recirculated air 
according to the available air quality
> Right telltale light on: the outside air 
supply is permanently shut off. The 
air inside the car is recirculated.
If the windows mist up in recircu-
lating mode, switch it off and, if 
necessary, increase the airflow.

Heated rear window
When the rear window heater is 
switched on, the telltale light 
comes on. The heater is subsequently 
switched off automatically.
You can have your car configured 
so as to have the rear window 
heater switched on automatically. In 
this case the heater switches on within 
5 minutes of the engine being started if 
the outdoor temperature is below 
approximately 4
6 (397).

Draught-free ventilation
The air outlets for the upper body area 
can be adjusted to suit the user's pref-
erences:
1 Knurled wheels for opening and clos-
ing the outlets through an infinitely 
variable range
2 Levers for adjusting the direction of 
the air flow
3 Use the knurled wheel to blend the 
required amount of cool air into the 
airflow to the upper body area:
> Turn toward blue – colder
> Turn toward red – warmer
