Activating/deactivating the cooling
with air dehumidification function
Important safety notes
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" function
of the air conditioning or automatic climate con-
trol is only available when the engine is running.
The air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehu-
midified according to the temperature selected.
Condensation may appear on the underside of
the vehicle when in cooling mode. This is normal
and not a sign that there is a malfunction.
If you switch off the "Cooling with air dehumid-
ification" function, the air inside the vehicle will
not be cooled (in warm weather) or dehumidi-
fied. Therefore, only switch off the "Cooling with
air dehumidification" function briefly. Other-
wise, the windows will mist up more quickly.
Activating and deactivating
For THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control,
the function for automatic climate control set-
tings can only be activated or deactivated on the
first menu level. If you do not set a new value for
the rear-compartment climate control in the
second menu level within approx. ten seconds,
the control panel display goes back to the first
menu level.

Regulating climate control automati-
cally
General notes
When THERMOTRONIC automatic climate con-
trol is in automatic mode, the set temperature is
automatically kept constant. The system auto-
matically regulates the temperature of the dis-
pensed air, the airflow and the air distribution.
Automatic mode will achieve optimal operation
if the cooling with air dehumidification function
is also activated. If desired, the cooling with air
dehumidification function can be deactivated
