AUTO program 4 offers the ideal air distribution
and air flow for practically all conditions, see
AUTO program below. All you need to do is
select an inside temperature which is comforta-
ble for you.
The following sections inform you in detail
about how to adjust the settings.
Most settings are saved for the remote control
currently in use, see also Personal Profile set-
tings on page 17.
Adjusting air distribution manually
Direct the flow of air to the win-
dows, to the upper body area or to
the footwell.
You can switch the automatic air
distribution back on by pressing the AUTO but-
ton.
Temperature
Set the desired temperatures indi-
vidually for the driver's and front
passenger's sides.

The automatic air-conditioning system attains
this temperature as quickly as possible regard-
less of the season by using maximum cooling or
heating power if necessary. The temperature is
then maintained.
Avoid frequent changes between very
low and very high temperatures. The
automatic air-conditioning system does not
have sufficient time to establish the set temper-
ature when changes are made quickly in suc-
cession.<
Maximum cooling
At outside temperatures above
0 6 (32 7) and when the engine
is running, you obtain a maximum
cooling effect as soon as possible.
The automatic air-conditioning system
switches to the lowest temperature and oper-
ates in recirculated-air mode. Air flows at maxi-
mum rate only from the outlets for the upper
body area. Be sure to keep these outlets open
when you select this program.
