Air conditioning
Heating, ventilation and
cooling
Introduction
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the air
conditioning systems can be:
●
Climatronic of 1 zone: heats, ventilates,
cools and dehumidies the passenger com-
partment considering it as a single air condi-
tioning area.
●
The 3-zone climatronic: heats, ventilates,
cools and dehumidies the passenger com-
partment considering it as 3 independent air
conditioning areas (driver, front passenger and
rear seats).
There are several ways to switch on the air con-
ditioning:
●
Press in the air conditioning menu
›››page147.
●
OR: by tapping any button in the air condi-
tioning menu directly related to the air condi-
tioning (for example temperatures, etc.).
Some functions and menu tabs depend on the
equipment.
Economic use of the air conditioning
Extra fuel (combustion engines) or electricity
(hybrid in electric mode) may be consumed by
the compressor while the air conditioning is
on.
The air conditioning operates most eectively
with the windows and the sunroof closed.
However, if the passenger compartment has
heated up after standing in the sun for some
time, the air inside can be cooled more quickly
by briey opening the windows and the sun-
roof.
Operating the air conditioning with voice
commands
Depending on the equipment, some of the
air conditioning functions can be operated by
voice control ›››page289.
Passenger recognition function
1)
The front and rear zone passenger recognition
function turns down the air conditioning in
these areas if no occupation is detected in
them, with the aim of reducing the vehicle’s
energy consumption.
When the ignition is switched on, the vehicle
recognises whether a person is sitting in one of
its seats.
The turning down of the air conditioning is in-
dicated as follows:
●
Front passenger area
: on the front passenger
temperature setting, which will display ECO in-
stead of the selected temperature.
●
Rear area: On the rear temperature setting,
where ECO will be displayed instead of the se-
lected temperature. This turning down of the
air conditioning will also be displayed on the
control located in the rear area.
Dust and pollen lter
The dust and pollen lter with its activated
charcoal cartridge serves as a barrier against
impurities in the air taken into the vehicle inte-
rior.
The dust and pollen lter must be changed
regularly so that air conditioner performance is
not adversely aected.
If the lter loses eiciency prematurely due
to use in areas with very high levels of air
pollution, the lter must be changed more fre-
quently than stated in the Service Schedule.
Air vents
To ensure proper heating, cooling and ventila-
tion in the vehicle interior, the air vents must
remain open.
There are other additional, non-adjustable air
vents in the instrument panel, in the footwells
and in the rear area of the passenger compart-
ment.
