Temperature
Turn the wheel to select the de‐
sired temperature.
The selected temperature is shown on the dis‐
play for automatic air conditioning.
The automatic air conditioning sets this tem‐
perature as quickly as possible, using higher
cooling or heating power if necessary. The
temperature is then maintained.
Avoid switching between different temperature
settings in rapid succession. The automatic air
conditioning will not then have sufficient time
to establish the temperature selected.
Cooling function
The interior can only be cooled when the en‐
gine is running.
Press the button.
Air is cooled and dried, then reheated
to suit the temperature setting.
Depending on weather conditions, the wind‐
screen and side windows may mist over mo‐
mentarily when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally in the AUTO program.
When using the automatic air conditioning,
condensation water, see page 181, develops
that exits underneath the vehicle.
Maximum cooling effect
Press the button.
System is set to lowest temperature,
optimum air flow and recirculated-air mode.
The air flows from the outlets for the upper
body area. Therefore open the ventilation
vents.

Climate
The function is available through an outside
temperature of approximately 0 ℃/32 ℉ and
with the engine running.
The air flow can be adapted when the program
is active.
AUTO program
Press the button.
The air flow, air distribution and tem‐
perature are automatically regulated.
Depending on the selected temperature, inten‐
sity AUTO program and external influences,
the air is directed towards the windscreen, side
windows, upper body, and into the footwell.
The cooling function, see page 161, is
switched on automatically in the AUTO pro‐
gram.
A condensation sensor also controls the pro‐
gram so that condensation is avoided as much
as possible.
Intensity of AUTO program
When AUTO program is switched on, auto‐
matic control of the intensity can be changed.
Pressing the button on the left or right
reduces or increases intensity.
The selected intensity is shown on the display
for automatic air conditioning.
Automatic air recirculation control,
AUC/recirculated-air mode
If the air outside the vehicle has an unpleasant
odour or contains pollutants, the supply to the
interior of the vehicle can be shut off. The air
inside the vehicle is then recirculated.
Press button repeatedly to call up an
operating mode:
▷ LEDs off: ambient air is constantly entering
the car.
