Climate control
Automatic program
Principle
The automatic program ensures a comforta-
ble climate, which can be modified with the
desired temperature and individual settings.
The automatic program cools, ventilates or
heats the vehicle interior automatically.
General information
Depending on the equipment, the automatic
program provides the best possible settings
for climate control functions depending on
the outside temperature, interior temperature,
sunlight, seat occupancy and the desired tem-
perature setting:
▷ Air flow.
▷ Air distribution.
▷ Temperature.
▷ Seat and panel heating.
▷ Active seat ventilation.
▷ Steering wheel heating
The automatic program takes seat occupancy
into account, regulating the climate in an en-
ergy-efficient manner that is tailored to the oc-
cupants.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con-
trols the automatic program in order to prevent
window condensation to the extent possible.
The interior air conditioning can continue to
run even if the drive-ready state is switched
off and the vehicle is not locked. This feature
provides improved comfort at very high or low
outside temperatures when making brief stops
during a trip. Depending on the air conditioning
setting selected, the air conditioning can stop
after a maximum of 15 minutes or by locking
the vehicle.
Condensation may leak below the vehicle
while the air conditioning is running.
