General information
Depending on the equipment, the automatic
program provides the best possible settings
for climate control functions depending on
the outside temperature, interior temperature,
sunlight, seat occupancy and the desired tem-
perature setting:
▷ Air flow.
▷ Air distribution.
▷ Temperature.
▷ Seat and armrest heating.
▷ Active seat ventilation.
▷ Steering wheel heating
The automatic program takes seat occupancy
into account, regulating the climate in an en-
ergy-efficient manner that is tailored to the oc-
cupants.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con-
trols the automatic program in order to prevent
window condensation to the extent possible.
