Automatic climate control
The automatic climate control is a 4-zone
intelligent climate control system. Your
vehicle interior is divided into four zones.
With the help of a sun sensor, the auto-
matic climate control determines the re-
lation of the sun to the vehicle and
automatically adjusts the inside temper-
ature for every individual zone.
The automatic climate control is opera-
tional whenever the engine is running. It
cools the vehicle’s interior according to
the angle and intensity of the sun’s rays,
the outside temperature and the select-
ed temperature.
i Condensation may drip from underneath
the vehicle. This is normal and not an indica-
tion of a malfunction.
The activated charcoal filter, when
switched on, markedly reduces odors
and removes pollutants from the air en-
tering the passenger compartment.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants and
odors are filtered out before outside air
enters the passenger compartment
through the air distribution system.
The air conditioning will not engage (no
cooling) if the air conditioning mode is
deactivated (
컄 page 200).
i Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollu-
tion) may require replacement of the filter be-
fore its scheduled interval. A clogged filter
will reduce the air volume to the interior.
If the vehicle interior is hot, ventilate the inte-
rior before driving off, see “Summer opening
feature” (컄 page 211). The automatic climate
control will then adjust the interior tempera-
ture to the set value much faster.
Keep the air intake grille in front of the wind-
shield free of snow, leaves, sticks and any oth-
er debris.
Do not obstruct air volume by placing objects
on the air flow-through exhaust slots below
the rear window.

Warning! G
When operating the automatic climate
control, the air that enters the passenger
compartment through the air vents can be
very hot or very cold (depending on the set
temperature). This may cause burns or
frostbite to unprotected skin in the imme-
diate area of the air vents. Always keep
sufficient distance between unprotected
parts of the body and the air vents. If nec-
essary, use the air distribution control
(컄 page 193) to direct the air to air vents in
the vehicle interior that are not in the im-
mediate area of unprotected skin.
Warning! G
Follow the recommended settings for
heating and cooling given on the follow-
ing pages. Otherwise the windows could
fog up, impairing visibility and endanger-
ing you and others.
