systems and functions relevant to safety.

Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages.
The windows could other-
wise mist up.
To prevent the windows from misting up:
R
switch off climate control only briefly
R
switch on air-recirculation mode only
briefly
R
air-conditioning system/automatic cli-
mate control: switch on the cooling with
air dehumidification function
R
switch on the "demist windscreen" func-
tion briefly, if required
The heating, air-conditioning system and
the automatic climate control regulate the
temperature and humidity in the vehicle
interior. They also filter undesirable sub-
stances out of the air.
The heating, air-conditioning system and
automatic climate control can only be
operated when the engine is running. They
only function optimally when the side win-
dows are closed.
i
Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather. This will speed up
the cooling process and the desired
interior temperature will be reached
more quickly.
i
The integrated filter can filter out
most
particles
of dust and as well as pol-
len. With automatic climate control,
odours carried in the air are also
reduced. A clogged filter reduces the
amount of air supplied to the vehicle
interior. For this reason, you should
always observe the interval for replac-
ing the filter, which is specified in the
Service Booklet. As it depends on envi-
ronmental conditions, e.g. heavy air
pollution, the interval may be shorter
than stated in the Service Booklet.
