Overview

Automatic climate control

Air supply

By pressing the left or right half
of the button, you can vary the

air supply. By doing this, you switch off
the automatic control of the air supply.
Nevertheless, the automatic air distri-
bution remains unchanged.

When you set the lowest blower speed
by pressing the left half of the button,
all of the displays are canceled: the
blower, heating and air conditioner are
switched off, and the air supply is
stopped. You can reactivate the system
by pressing any button of the automatic
climate control.

To defrost the windshield and
side windows

This program quickly removes
ice and condensation from the

windshield and side windows.

Air conditioner

The air is cooled and dehumidi-
fied and – depending on the

temperature setting – rewarmed when
the air conditioner system is switched
on.
Depending on the weather, the wind-
shield may fog over briefly when the
engine is started.
Switch off the air conditioner at outside
temperatures below approx. 41 7
(+5 6). This will help to prevent the
windows from fogging up.
If the windows fog over after switching
the air conditioner off, switch it back
on.

Condensation forms in the air
conditioner system during opera-

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

Automatic recirculated air control
(AUC)

If there are unpleasant odors or
pollutants in the outside air, you

can temporarily block the air flow from
the outside. The system then recircu-
lates the air already within the vehicle.
By repeated actuation of the button,
you can select one of three different
operation modes.

Indicator lamps off: fresh air flows
into the vehicle

Left-hand indicator lamp on – AUC
mode: the system detects pollutants
in the outside air and responds by
deactivating the outside air flow as
required. The system then recircu-
lates the air already 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 this

mode off and increase the air supply as
required.
