THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control
When THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control
is in automatic mode, the set temperature will
automatically be kept constant. The system auto‐
matically regulates the temperature of the dis‐
pensed air, the airflow and the air distribution.
Automatic mode can be activated or deactivated
only in the climate control menu and not in the
climate control menu for rear-compartment air
conditioning (second menu level).
To switch automatic mode on/off: press
#
the top or bottom section of the à rocker
switch.
When the indicator lamp above the Ã
rocker switch lights up, automatic mode is
switched on.
In automatic mode, if you adjust the airflow or air
distribution manually, the indicator lamp above
the à rocker switch will go out. The function
that has not been changed manually, however,
will continue to be regulated automatically. When
the manually changed function switches back to
automatic mode, the indicator lamp above the
à rocker switch will light up again.
