Ventilation
Setting
The air flow directions can be individually
adjusted:
–
Direct ventilation:
The air flow is directly pointed onto the
person. The air flow heats or cools no-
ticeably, depending on the adjusted tem-
perature.
–
Indirect ventilation:
If the air vents are fully or partly closed,
the air is directly routed into the car's
interior.
Front ventilation

closing of the air vents.

General information
The pre-ventilation can be switched on and
off directly or by using two preset activa-
tion times. The system remains switched on
for 30 minutes.
The pre-ventilation system is operated via
the Central Information Display (CID).
Functional requirements
–
Direct operation: vehicle is in radio-
ready state.
–
Direct operation or preset activation
time: does not depend on outside tem-
perature.

The vehicle battery is sufficiently
charged.
If pre-ventilation is switched on, the ve-
hicle battery will be discharged. Thus,
limit the maximum activation time to
save the vehicle battery. The system will
be available again after the engine is
started or after a short trip.

Make sure that the vehicle's date and
time are set correctly.

Open the air vents of the ventilation to
allow air to flow out.
