Turning on/off
Press the button.
The LED is illuminated with the
system switched on.
Air flows out of the air vents to the upper
body area. The air vents need to be open for
this.
The air flow can be adjusted when maxi-
mum cooling is switched on.
AUTO program
Principle
The AUTO program cools, ventilates or
heats the car's interior automatically.
For this, the air flow, air distribution and
temperature are regulated depending on the
settings and the interior temperature.
Turning on/off
Press the button.
The LED is illuminated with the
AUTO program switched on.
Depending on the selected temperature,
AUTO intensity and outside influences, the
air is directed to the windshield, side win-
dows, upper body, and into the floor area.
Point the side air vents toward the side win-
dows.
The following features are switched on au-
tomatically with the AUTO program:
– Air conditioning, refer to page 207.
To switch off the program: press the button
again or manually adjust the air distribu-
tion.
Adjusting the intensity of the air flow
With the AUTO program switched on, the
intensity can be adjusted. This changes the
automatic control for the air mass.
Turn the wheel to set the de-
sired intensity from soft to in-
tensive.
The set intensity is displayed via the posi-
tion of the illuminated LED segment.
Air recirculation mode
Principle
You may react to unpleasant odors or pollu-
tants in the immediate environment by tem-
porarily suspending the supply of outside
air. The system then recirculates the inte-
rior air.
Operation
Press the button:
The LED is illuminated when recir-
culated-air mode is switched on. The supply
of outside air is shut off.
When recirculated-air mode is switched off,
fresh air is directed into the vehicle's inte-
rior.
To prevent window condensation, recircu-
lated-air mode switches off automatically af-
ter a certain amount of time, depending on
the outside temperature.
With extended air recirculation mode, the
air quality in the interior deteriorates and
window fogging increases.
In case of window condensation, switch off
air recirculation mode and increase the air
flow, if needed.
Air flow, manual
Principle
The air flow for climate control can be ad-
justed manually.
