Optimum use of dual-zone climate
control
The following contains notes and recommenda-
tions on optimum use of dual-zone climate con-
trol.
You can switch on climate control by using the
R
à and ¿ or à and Á buttons.
The indicator lamps in the à and
¿ buttons or the à and Á buttons
light up.
Set the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
R
Only use the "Windshield defrosting" function
R
briefly until the windshield is clear again.
Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g. if
R
there are unpleasant outside odors or when in
a tunnel. The windows could otherwise fog up,
since no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in
air-recirculation mode.
Use the ZONE function to adopt the temper-
R
ature settings on the driver's side for the
front-passenger side as well. The indicator
lamp above the á button goes out.
If you change the settings of the climate con-
R
trol system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds at
the bottom of the screen in the multimedia
system display. You will see the current set-
tings of the various climate control functions.
During automatic engine switch-off, the climate
control system only operates at a reduced capa-
city. If you require the full climate control output,
you can switch off the ECO start/stop function
by pressing the ECO button (
Overview of climate control systems
page 151).
