Temperature
Concept
The automatic climate control achieves the set
temperature as quickly as possible, if necessary
by using the maximum cooling or heating power,
and then keeps it constant.
Adjusting
Turn the wheel to set the desired
temperature.
Do not rapidly switch between different tempera‐
ture settings. Otherwise, the automatic climate
control will not have sufficient time to adjust the
set temperature.
Air conditioning
Concept
The air in the car's interior will be cooled and de‐
humidified and, depending on the temperature
setting, warmed again.
The car's interior can only be cooled with the en‐
gine running.
Switching on/off
Press the button.
The LED is illuminated with air condi‐
tioning switched on.
Depending on the weather, the windshield and
side windows may fog up briefly when the en‐
gine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
When using the automatic climate control, con‐
densation water, refer to page 202, develops
and drains underneath the vehicle. This is nor‐
mal.
AUTO program
Concept
The AUTO program cools, ventilates or heats
the car's interior automatically.
The air flow, air distribution and temperature will
be controlled automatically depending on the in‐
terior temperature and the setting for the desired
temperature.
Switching on/off
Press the button.
The LED is illuminated with the AUTO
program switched on.
Depending on the selected temperature and out‐
side influences, the air is directed to the wind‐
shield, side windows, upper body, and into the
floor area.
The air conditioning, refer to page 173, is
switched on automatically with the AUTO pro‐
gram.
Point the side vents toward the side windows.
