automatic air conditioning system is optimized 
for driving with the top open. In addition, the air 
flow rate is increased as vehicle speed 
increases.

The effectiveness of the Convertible pro-
gram can be enhanced considerably by 

installing the wind deflector.

Press the left side of the button to 
reduce airflow. Press the right side 
of the button to increase it.

You can reactivate the automatic mode for the 
air flow rate with the AUTO button.
The air flow rate may be reduced or the blower 
may be switched off entirely to save on battery 
power. The display remains the same.

With the blower at its lowest setting, press the 
left side of the button to switch off the auto-
matic climate control. All displays are cleared 
except for the rear window defroster if it is 
switched on.
Press any button except REST or rear window 
defroster to reactivate the automatic climate 
control.

The recirculated-air mode is switched on 
when you switch off the automatic cli-

mate control. If the air quality deteriorates or the 
window fogs over, switch the system back on 
and increase the air volume.

<

Switch on the desired operating 
mode by pressing this button 
repeatedly:

>

LED off: outside air flows in continuously.

>

Left-hand LED on, AUC mode: a sensor 
detects pollutants in the outside air. If nec-
essary, the system blocks the supply of out-
side air and recirculates the inside air. As 
soon as the concentration of pollutants in 
the outside air has decreased sufficiently, 

the system automatically switches back to 
outside air supply.

>

Right-hand LED on, recirculated-air mode: 
the supply of outside air is permanently 
shut off. The system then recirculates the 
air currently within the vehicle.

If condensation starts to form on the 
inside window surfaces during operation 

in the recirculated-air mode, you should switch 
it off while also increasing the air flow rate as 
required. 
The recirculated-air mode should not be used 
over an extended period of time, otherwise the 
air quality inside the car will deteriorate contin-
uously.

<

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.

The function can be switched on when the fol-
lowing conditions are met:

>

Up to 15 minutes after the engine has been 
switched off

>

While the engine is at operating tempera-
ture

>

As long as battery voltage is sufficient

>

At an outside temperature below 77

The LED is lit when the function is on.
As of radio readiness, you can set the interior 
temperature, the air flow rate and the air distri-
bution.

Quickly removes ice and conden-
sation from the windshield and 
front side windows.

Switch on the cooling function as well.
