Controls
Air is cooled as quickly as possible:
▷ At an external temperature of approx.
32 ℉/0 ℃.
▷ When the engine is running.
Ventilation

▷ Thumbwheel to vary the temperature, ar‐
row 1.
Toward blue: colder.
Toward red: warmer.
The set interior temperature for the driver
and passenger are not changed.
▷ Lever for changing the air flow direction,
arrow 2.
▷ Thumbwheels for opening and closing the
vents continuously, arrows 3.
Ventilation levels
▷ Draft-free ventilation:
Thumbwheel, arrow 3, in level
current is fanned out.
▷ Maximum air flow:
Thumbwheel, arrow 3, in level
is partially fanned out and partially bundled.
This maximizes the air supply.

Parked-car ventilation/
heating
The concept
The parked-car ventilation ventilates the vehi‐
cle interior and lowers its temperature, if
needed.
The parked-car heating warms the vehicle in‐
terior, making snow and ice easier to remove.
With the ignition switched off, the air is auto‐
matically routed to the windshield, to the side
windows, and into the footwell.
The systems can be switched on and off di‐
rectly or by using two preset reel-on times.
They remain switched on for 30 minutes.
