Controls in detail
Automatic climate control
Activating
Moist air can fog up the windows. You
can dehumidify the air with the air con-
ditioning.
 Press AC OFF again ( page 214).
The indicator lamp on the
button AC OFF goes out.
The air conditioning uses the refrigerant
R134a. This refrigerant is free of CFCs
which are harmful to the ozone layer.
Residual heat and ventilation
With the engine switched off, it is possi-
ble to continue to heat or ventilate the
interior for up to 30 minutes. This fea-
ture makes use of the residual heat pro-
duced by the engine.
Activating
 Turn the SmartKey in the starter
switch to position 1 or 0 or remove it
from the starter switch.
 Press button T ( page 214).
The indicator lamp on button T
comes on.
Deactivating
 Press button T ( page 214).
The indicator lamp on button T
goes out.
The residual heat is automatically turned
off:
 when the ignition is switched on
 after about 30 minutes
 if the battery voltage drops
The solar cells convert natural light into
electrical energy. When the engine is
switched off, the energy generated au-
tomatically switches on the ventilation
fan. The constant air flow creates a cool-
er temperature for cars parked in the
sunlight.
The air flow depends on the intensity of
the solar radiation. The ventilation starts
two minutes after switching off the en-
gine.

If the AC OFF button on the automat-
ic climate control panel starts to flash,
this indicates that the air condition-
ing is losing refrigerant. The compres-
sor has turned itself off. The air
conditioning cannot be turned on
again.
Have the air conditioning checked at
the nearest authorized Maybach
Studio.
i
How long the system will provide
heating depends on the coolant tem-
perature and the temperature set by
the operator. The blower will run at
speed setting 1 regardless of the air
distribution control setting.
