Overview of climate control systems
Important safety notes
Observe the recommended settings on the fol-
lowing pages. Otherwise, the windows could
mist up.
Climate control regulates the temperature and
the humidity in the vehicle interior and filters
undesirable substances from the air.

Climate control is only operational when the
engine is running. The system only functions
optimally when the side windows are closed.
i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather. In order to cool the vehicle
more rapidly, switch climate control to air-
recirculation mode briefly. This will speed up
the cooling process and the desired interior
temperature will be reached more quickly.
i The integrated filter can filter out most par-
ticles of dust and completely filters out pollen.
A clogged filter reduces the amount of air
supplied to the vehicle interior. For this rea-
son, 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 pol-
lution, the interval may be shorter than that
stated in the Maintenance Booklet.
