If you select the temperature below +18 ℃, “LO” appears in the display.
If you select a temperature higher than +29 ℃, “HI” appears in the display.
In both limit positions the Climatronic operates at maximum cooling or heating
capacity, respectively. The temperature is not automatically regulated in this case.
CAUTION
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
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 82.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into
the vehicle, e.g. when driving through a tunnel or in a traffic jam.
