Automatic climate control
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.
You can set the temperature for each of
the four zones separately. These settings
can be assigned to a SmartKey and
stored in memory (
page 140).
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.
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 AC OFF mode is selected
(
page 208).i
Condensation may drip from under-
neath the vehicle. This is normal and
not an indication of a malfunction.
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.
i
Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pol-
lution) may require replacement of
the filter before its scheduled inter-
val. A clogged filter will reduce the
air volume to the interior.
If the vehicle interior is hot, ventilate
the interior before driving off.
Keep the air intake grille in front of
the windshield free of snow, leaves,
sticks and any other debris.
Do not obstruct air volume by placing
objects on the air flow-through ex-
haust slots below the rear window.
