ommendations to enable you to get the most
out of your THERMOTRONIC automatic cli-
mate control.

FUSE). The MEDIUM level is recommended.
Set the temperature to 22 †.

Only use the "Windscreen demisting" func-
R
tion briefly until the windscreen is clear
again.
Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
R

when in a tunnel. The windows could oth-
erwise mist up as no fresh air is drawn into
the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.
Use the ZONE function to adopt the tem-
R
perature settings on the driver's side for
the front-passenger side and the rear com-
partment as well. The indicator lamp above
the á button goes out.

the ignition is switched off. The residual
heat function can only be activated or deac-
tivated with the ignition switched off.

R

appears for approximately three seconds

ating instructions). You will see the current
