Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Heating and manual air conditioning
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)
Climatronic - automatic operation
Air distribution control
Air outlet vents
The heating and air conditioning ventilate and heat the vehicle interior. The air
conditioning system also cools and dehumidifies the vehicle interior.
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met.
The cooling system is switched on.

The engine is running.

The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.

The blower is switched on.

If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in
the vehicle. The cooling system prevents the windows from misting up during
the cold season of the year.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling
effect » page 124.
Health protection
To reduce health risks (e.g. common colds), the following instructions for the
use of the cooling system are to be observed.
›
The difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor air temper-
ature should not be greater than about 5 ° C.
›
The cooling system is to be turned off about 10 minutes before the end of
the journey.
