Note
Below the top row of buttons is located the interior temperature sensor. Do not
stick anything on or cover the sensor, otherwise it could have an unfavourable ef-
fect on the Climatronic.
Automatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and to
demist the windows in the interior of the car.
Switching automatic mode on
›
Set a temperature between +18 °C and +26 °C.
›
Move the air outlet vents 2 and 3 » Fig. 106 so that the air flow is directed
slightly upwards.

Press the button
AUTO
. The indicator light in the top right or left corner lights
up, depending on which mode was last selected.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button
AUTO
lights up, the Cli-
matronic operates in “HIGH” mode. The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of
the Climatronic.
When pressing again the button
AUTO
, the Climatronic changes into the “LOW”
mode and the warning light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses
only in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air con-
ditioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button
AUTO
again, it is changed to “HIGH” mode.
Automatic mode is switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air distri-
bution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is never-
theless regulated.

When you again press the button
AC
, the air conditioning system is switched
off. The warning light in the button goes out. Only the function of the ventila-
tion remains active when no lower temperature than the outside temperature
can be reached.
Setting temperature
The interior temperature for the left and right side can be set separately.

The temperature for both sides can be set with the control dial

after switch-
ing on the ignition.

If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control dial

.
The warning light in the button
DUAL
lights up, this indicates that differing tem-
peratures for the left and right side can be set.
If the indicator light in the button
DUAL
is illuminated, the temperature for both
sides cannot be set with the control dial
7
. You can reactivate this function by
pressing the button
DUAL
. The warning light in the button goes out.
The interior temperature can be set between +18 °C and +26 °C. The interior tem-
perature is regulated automatically within this range. If a temperature lower than
+18 °C is selected, a blue symbol lights up at the start of the numerical scale. If a
temperature higher than +26 °C is selected, a red symbol lights up at the start of
the numerical scale. In both limit positions the Climatronic operates at maximum
cooling or heating capacity, respectively. The temperature is not controlled in this
case.
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Recirculated air mode
Recirculated air mode largely prevents polluted air from outside the vehicle get-
ting into the vehicle, for example, when driving through a tunnel or when stand-
ing in a traffic jam. If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is rec-
ognized by the air quality sensor, when the automatic air distribution control is
switched on, the air distribution control will temporarily be switched off. If the
concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distribution
