are controlled automatically depending on the in‐
terior and outside temperature and the desired
temperature setting including the selected inten‐
sity.

Depending on the selected settings and outside
influences, the air is directed to the windshield,
side windows, upper body, and into the floor
area.
Point the side air vents toward the side windows.
The cooling function is switched on with the
AUTO program.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con‐
trols the program so as to prevent window con‐
densation as much as possible.
The AUTO program is switched off automati‐
cally, when manual air distribution is set.
Controlling the intensity of the air
flow
With the AUTO program switched on, the inten‐
sity can be adjusted. This changes the automatic

Convertible program
When the convertible top is open, the convertible
program is activated as well. In the convertible
program, the automatic climate control is opti‐
mized 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 deflector.
Automatic recirculated-air
control
Principle
The automatic recirculated-air control recognizes
pollutants in the outside air. The outside air sup‐
ply is shut off and the interior air is recirculated.
General information
If the system is activated, a sensor detects pollu‐
tants in the outside air and controls the shut-off
automatically.
If the system is deactivated, outside air continu‐
ously flows into the car's interior.
With constant air recirculation mode, the air qual‐
ity in the car's interior deteriorates and window
fogging increases.
If there is window condensation, switch off recir‐
culated-air mode or defog the windows.
