Climate control functions in detail
Switching the system on/off
Turning on
Press any button except for the following:
▷ Rear window defroster.
▷ Seat heating.
Turning off
Press and hold the left button until the
control panel switches off.
Temperature
Principle
The system heats or cools, depending on the
set temperature.
Adjusting
Turn the wheel to set the de-
sired temperature.
Do not rapidly change between different tem-
perature settings. Otherwise, the automatic cli-
mate control will not have sufficient time to ad-
just the set temperature.
Air conditioning
Principle
The air in the interior will be cooled and dehu-
midified and, depending on the temperature
setting, warmed again.
The car's interior can only be cooled with the
engine running.
Turning 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 mode produces condensation, re-
fer to page 219, that will exit from below the
vehicle.
Air recirculation mode
Principle
You may react to unpleasant odors or pollu-
tants in the immediate environment by tempo-
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the interior air.
Operation
Press button repeatedly to select an
operating mode:
▷
LED off: outside air flows in continuously.
▷ LED on, recirculated-air mode: the supply
of outside air into the vehicle is perma-
nently disabled.
To prevent window condensation, recirculated-
air mode switches off automatically after a cer-
tain amount of time, depending on the envi-
ronmental conditions.
