Notes/tips
Activate climate control using the à and ¿
buttons. The indicator lamps above the à and
¿ buttons light up. You can also set the airflow
and air distribution of the automatic climate control
to one of three levels (FOCUS/MEDIUM/DIFFUSE).
You can set the desired level using button G. The
MEDIUM level is recommended.
Only use the "demisting" function briefly until the
windscreen is clear again.
Use the ZONE function to adopt the temperature set-
tings on the driver's side for the front-passenger side
and the rear compartment as well. The indicator lamp
above the á button goes out.
Only use "air-recirculation" mode briefly, e.g. if there
are unpleasant outside odours or when in a tunnel.
The windows could otherwise mist up as, in air-recir-
culation mode, no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle.
