Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
mist up.
To prevent the windows from misting up:
switch off climate control only briefly
R
switch on air-recirculation mode only briefly
R
switch on the cooling with air dehumidifica-
R
tion function
switch on the windscreen demisting function
R
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature and
air humidity in the vehicle interior. The interior
filter cleans the air, thus improving the interior
climate.
The cooling with air dehumidification function is
only available when the engine is running. Opti-
mum climate control is only achieved with the
side windows closed.

Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather, e.g. using the convenience

The integrated filter filters out most parti-
cles of dust and soot and completely filters
out pollen. It also reduces gaseous pollutants
and odours. A clogged filter reduces the
amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior.
For this reason, you should always observe
the interval for replacing the filter, which is
specified in the Service Booklet. As this
depends on environmental conditions, e.g.
heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
i
It is possible that the blower may be activa-
ted automatically 60 minutes after the engine
has been switched off depending on various
factors, e.g. the outside temperature. The
vehicle is then ventilated for 30 minutes to dry
the automatic climate control.
