Maximum cooling

Maximally cooled air is obtained as
quickly as possible from an outside
temperature above 327/06 and
with the engine running.
The automatic climate control
changes over to the lowest temperature and
switches into the recirculated-air mode. The
maximum air quantity only flows out of the vents
for the upper body, so open these vents for
maximum cooling.

Air volume

You can vary the air volume by
turning. You can reactivate the
automatic air supply mode by
pressing the AUTO button.
Manual air distribution
You can adapt the air distribution to your own
personal preferences:
1. Open the start menu.
2. Open "Climate".
3. Turn the controller to select driver's side or
passenger side.

Residual heat

The system uses the warmth
stored in the engine to heat the
interior when the ignition is off, e.g.
while the vehicle is stopped at a
railroad crossing.
The function can be switched on when the fol-
lowing conditions are met:
> up to 15 minutes after switching off the
engine
> with the engine at operating temperature
>
with sufficient battery voltage
> at an outside temperature below 777/
256
The LED lights up when the function is
switched on.
