Accident risk!
Ensure that you observe the recommen
ded settings for air conditioning system
with automatic temperature control* de
scribed on the next few pages. The win
dows could otherwise mist up. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic
conditions, thereby causing an accident.
The air conditioning system with automatic
temperature control improves the level of
comfort when driving at high outside tempe
ratures by cooling and dehumidifying the air.
An integrated combination filter* (dust, pollen
and particulate filter) purifies the fresh air
inflow. It continues to operate when the air
conditioning system with automatic tempera
ture control is switched off and you have swit
ched the blower on.
Air conditioning with automatic temperature control*
Dehumidification of the air by the air condi
tioning system with automatic temperature
control means that the windows do not fog
when there is a high level of moisture in the
air.
This effect can also be used to defrost the
windows if, in addition to the air conditioning
system with automatic temperature control,
the heater is switched to maximum.
The air conditioning system with automatic
temperature control only works when the en
gine is running and the blower is switched on.
Maximum effectiveness is achieved if you dri
ve with the windows closed.
H
Environmental tip
Keep the windows closed when operating
the air conditioning system with auto
matic temperature control. This will save
fuel.
!
In warmer weather, ventilate the car well
for a short period of time. The car will cool
down to the required inside temperature more
quickly.
G
Accident risk!
Only switch over to air recirculation
mode briefly if the outside temperature
is low. Otherwise, the windows could mist
up, thus impairing visibility and endan
gering yourself and others. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic
conditions, thereby causing an accident.
