Regulating climate control automati-
cally
General notes
When dual-zone automatic climate control is in
automatic mode, the set temperature is auto-
matically kept constant. The system automati-
cally 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 func-
tion is also activated. If desired, the cooling
with air dehumidification function can be deac-
Y
tivated ( page 118).
Dual-zone automatic climate control
Automatic mode for automatic climate control
settings 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.
