Important safety notes

Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise fog up.
To prevent the windows from fogging up:
switch off climate control only briefly
R
switch on air-recirculation mode only
R
briefly
switch on the cooling with air dehumidifi-
R
cation function
switch on the defrost windshield function

briefly, if required
The automatic climate control regulates the
temperature and the humidity in the vehicle
interior and filters undesirable substances
out of the air.
Coupe: dual-zone automatic climate control
is only operational when the engine is run-
ning. Optimum operation is only achieved
with the side windows closed.
Roadster: dual-zone automatic climate
control is only operational when the engine is
running. Optimum operation is only achieved
with the side windows and roof closed.
i
When the weather is warm, ventilate the
vehicle for a brief period. This will speed up
the cooling process and the desired interior
temperature will be reached more quickly.

i The integrated filter filters out most par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ters out pollen. It also reduces gaseous pol-
lutants and odors. 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 Maintenance
Booklet. As it depends on environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the
interval may be shorter than stated in the
Maintenance Booklet.
