Adjusting
Turn the wheel to select the de‐
sired temperature.
The automatic air conditioning regulates to
this temperature as quickly as possible, using
high cooling or heating power if necessary.
Avoid switching between different temperature
settings in rapid succession. The automatic air
conditioning will otherwise not have sufficient
time to establish the temperature selected.
Cooling function
Principle
Interior air is cooled and dried, then reheated
to suit the temperature setting.
The interior can only be cooled when the en‐
gine is running.
Switching on/off
Press the button.
The cooling function is switched on or
off.
Depending on weather conditions, the wind‐
screen and side windows may mist over for a
short time when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally in the AUTO program.
When the automatic air conditioning is in oper‐
ation, condensation, see page 195, develops
which exits underneath the vehicle.
Maximum cooling effect
Principle
System is set to lowest temperature, optimum
air flow and recirculated-air mode.

Air conditioning
General
The function is available above an outside tem‐
perature of approximately 0 ℃/32 ℉ And with
the engine running.
Switching on/off
Press the button.
The air flows from the side nozzles for the up‐
per body area. Therefore open the side noz‐
zles.
The air flow can be adapted when the pro‐
gramme is active.
AUTO program
Principle
The air flow, air distribution and temperature
are automatically regulated.
Switching on/off
Press the button.
Depending on the selected tempera‐
ture, intensity AUTO program and external in‐
fluences, the air is directed towards the wind‐
screen, side windows, upper body, and into the
footwell.
The cooling function, see page 175, is
switched on automatically in the AUTO pro‐
gram.
A condensation sensor also controls the pro‐
gramme so that window condensation is avoi‐
ded as much as possible.
In the AUTO program, the air flow might be re‐
duced during a telephone call using the hands-
free system.
Intensity
With the AUTO programme switched on, the
intensity can be adjusted. This changes the
automatic control for the air flow and air distri‐
bution.
