Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)

Description
The Climatronic system is a combination of an automatic heating,
fresh air and cooling system which provides optimal comfort for the
occupants of the car.
The Climatronic maintains a constant temperature fully automatically, once it has
been set. This is achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the
outflowing air, the blower stages and the air distribution. The system also takes into
account sunlight which eliminates the need to alter the settings manually. The
automatic mode  page 81 ensures maximum wellbeing of the occupants at all
times of the year.
