Controls
▷ Left-hand LED on, AUC mode: a sensor
detects pollutants in the outside air and
shuts it out automatically.
▷ Right-hand LED on, recirculated-air mode:
the ambient air supply is permanently shut
off.
The recirculated-air mode automatically
switches off at low outside temperatures after
a given time, to avoid condensation.
Continuous recirculated-air mode deteriorates
the air quality in the interior and condensation
on the windows increases.
If there is condensation on the window, switch
off recirculated-air mode and press the AUTO
button to use the condensation sensor. Ensure
that air can flow towards the windscreen.
Adjusting the air flow manually
To be able to adjust the air flow manually, first
switch off the AUTO program.
Pressing the button on the left or right
reduces or increases the air flow.
The selected air flow is shown on the display
for automatic air conditioning.
In order to protect the battery the air flow rate
of the automatic air conditioning is reduced, if
necessary.
Adjusting the air distribution manually
Press button repeatedly to select a
program:
▷ Upper body area and footwell.
