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
activate air-recirculation mode only briefly
R
switch on "Cooling with air dehumidification"
R
activate the windscreen demisting function
R
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature and
the humidity in the vehicle interior and filters
undesirable substances out of the air.
Climate control is only operational when the
engine is running. Optimum operation is only
achieved when the side windows and the roof
are closed.
The "Residual heat" function can only be activa-
ted or deactivated with the ignition switched off
(
page 132).

Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather. This will speed up the cooling
process and the desired interior temperature
will be reached more quickly.

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 residual heat function
may be activated automatically an hour after
the key has been removed. The vehicle is then
ventilated for 30 minutes to dry the automatic
climate control.
