i Notes/tips
Only use the "defrosting" function briefly until the
windshield is clear again.
Activate climate control using the à and Á
buttons. The indicator lamps in the à and Á
buttons light up.
Use the residual heat function if you want to heat or
ventilate the vehicle interior when the ignition is
switched off. The "residual heat" function can only be
activated or deactivated with the ignition switched
off.
Set the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
Only use "air-recirculation" mode briefly, e.g. if there
are unpleasant outside odors or when in a tunnel. The
windows could otherwise fog up as, in air-
recirculation mode, no fresh air is drawn into the
vehicle.
Activate climate control using the à and Á
buttons. The indicator lamps in the à and Á
buttons light up.
