a) Tips
- To avoid adversely affecting heating and
cooling performance and to prevent con-
densation on the windows, the air intake
in front of the windshield must be free of
ice, snow and leaves .
- The air flowing out of the vents and
throughout the vehicle's entire interior is
discharged at the rear of the vehicle.
Make sure that the outle t slots are not
covered by clothing, etc.
- Climate control works most effectively if
the windows and the Panoramic sliding
sunroof* are closed . However, if the inte-
rior of a parked vehicle is extremely hot
from the sun , briefly opening the win-
dows can speed up the cooling process .
This overview will help you to familiarize yourself with the climate controls .
