the illuminated LED segment.
Convertible program
When the convertible top is open, the
convertible program is activated as well. In the
convertible program, the automatic climate
control is optimized for driving with the
convertible top open. In addition, the air flow is
increased as the vehicle speed increases.
The efficiency of the convertible program can
be greatly enhanced by installing the wind de‐
flector.
Recirculated-air mode
Concept
You may react to unpleasant odors or pollu‐
tants in the immediate environment by tempo‐
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air flow within the
vehicle.
Operation
Press button repeatedly to select an
operating mode:
▷ LED off: outside air flows in continuously.
▷ LED on, recirculated-air mode: the supply
of outside air into the vehicle is perma‐
nently blocked.
To prevent window condensation, recirculated-
air mode switches off automatically after a cer‐
tain amount of time, depending on the external
temperature.
With constant recirculated-air mode, the air
quality in the car's interior deteriorates and the
fogging of the windows increases.
