Automatic climate control
The cooling function, only operational
when the engine is running, cools the ve-
hicle interior down to the selected tem-
perature. The cooling function also
dehumidifies the air in the vehicle interi-
or, thus preventing the windows from
fogging up.
i Condensation may drip out from
underneath the vehicle. This is normal and not
an indication of a malfunction.
Deactivating
It is possible to deactivate the air condi-
tioning (cooling) function of the auto-
matic climate control system. The air in
the vehicle will then no longer be cooled
or dehumidified.
왘 Press button r (컄 page 206).
The indicator lamp on the
button r comes on.
Activating
Moist air can fog up the windows. You
can dehumidify the air with the air con-
ditioning.
왘 Press button r again
(
컄 page 206).
The indicator lamp on the
button r goes out.
The air conditioning uses the refrigerant
R134a. This refrigerant is free of CFCs
which are harmful to the ozone layer.
i If button r on the automatic climate
control panel starts to flash, this indicates that
the air conditioning is losing refrigerant. The
compressor has turned itself off. The air con-
ditioning cannot be turned on again.
Have the air conditioning checked at the near-
est authorized Maybach Studio.
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
왘 Turn the SmartKey in the starter
switch to position 1 or 0 or remove it
from the starter switch.
왘 Press button T (컄 page 206).
The indicator lamp on button T
comes on.
Deactivating
왘 Press button T (컄 page 206).
The indicator lamp on button T
goes out.
The residual heat is automatically turned
off:
앫 when the ignition is switched on
앫 after about 30 minutes
앫 if the battery voltage drops
i How long the system will provide heating
depends on the coolant temperature and the
temperature set by the operator. The blower
will run at speed setting 1 regardless of the air
distribution control setting.
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
2 minutes after switching off the engine.

Warning! G
If you turn off the cooling function, the ve-
hicle will not be cooled when weather con-
ditions are warm. The windows can fog up
more quickly. Window fogging may impair
visibility and endanger you and others.
