Controls in detail
The air-conditioning system regulates the
temperature and humidity of the vehicle in-
terior and filters undesired particles out of
the air.
The air-conditioning system/heater is only
operational while the engine is running.
Optimum operation is only achieved if you
drive with the side windows and sliding
sunroof closed.
The combination filter removes most dust
particles, pollen and unpleasant odors
from the outside air. A blocked filter reduc-
es the amount of air supplied to the vehicle
interior.
The interval for replacing the filter depends
on environmental factors, e.g. high air pol-
lution. The interval may be shorter than
that indicated in the Maintenance Booklet.
i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather or briefly switch to air-recircula-
tion mode to quickly cool down the vehicle if you
have an air-conditioning system. This will speed
up the cooling process and the desired interior
temperature will be reached more quickly.
Electrical heater booster system
The vehicle can be equipped with an elec-
trically powered heater booster system.
The heater booster system ensures that
the vehicle interior is heated up as quickly
as possible during the engine's warm-up
phase.
i The heater booster system switches on au-
tomatically as required.
Air-conditioning system
Recommendations for optimum climate
control:

Only change the temperature in small
increments.
O switch on cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion. The indicator lamp in the
switch comes on.
