Convertible program
When the convertible top is open, the convertible
program is activated as well. In the convertible
program, the automatic climate control is opti‐
mized for driving with the convertible top open. In
addition, the air flow is increased as the vehicle
speed increases.
The efficiency of the convertible program can be
greatly enhanced by installing the wind deflector.
Automatic recirculated-air
control
Principle
The automatic recirculated-air control recognizes
pollutants in the outside air. The outside air sup‐
ply is shut off and the interior air is recirculated.
General information
If the system is activated, a sensor detects pollu‐
tants in the outside air and controls the shut-off
automatically.
If the system is deactivated, outside air continu‐
ously flows into the car's interior.
With constant air recirculation mode, the air qual‐
ity in the car's interior deteriorates and window
fogging increases.
If there is window condensation, switch off recir‐
culated-air mode or defog the windows.

Climate control
Air recirculation mode
Principle
You may react to unpleasant odors or pollutants
in the immediate environment by temporarily
suspending the supply of outside air. The system
then recirculates the interior air.
When recirculated-air mode is switched off, fresh
air is directed into the vehicle's interior.
Switch air recirculation on/off
Using the button:
Press the button.
The LED of the button is illuminated
when the air-recirculation mode is switched on.

▷ "Air recirculation"
▷ "Fresh air"
To prevent window fogging, recirculated-air
mode switches off automatically after a certain
amount of time, depending on the environmental
conditions.
With constant air recirculation mode, the air qual‐
ity in the car's interior deteriorates and window
fogging increases.
If there is window condensation, switch off recir‐
culated-air mode or defog the windows.
Air flow, manual
Principle
The air flow for climate control can be adjusted
manually.
