set differing temperatures for the left and right side, goes out.
You can set the interior temperature between +18 °C and +26 °C. The interior
temperature is regulated automatically within this range. If you chose a tempera-
ture lower than +18 °C, a blue symbol lights up at the start of the numerical scale. If
you chose a temperature higher than +26 °C, a red symbol lights up at the end of the
numerical scale. In both limit positions the Climatronic operates at maximum cooling
or heating capacity, respectively. The temperature is not controlled in this case.
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (in particular at the
leg area) and large differences in temperature, for example when getting out of the
vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior. When the automatic air distribu-
tion control is switched on, an air quality sensor measures the
concentration of pollutants in the drawn-in air.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into the
vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a traffic jam.
If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognized by the air
quality sensor, when the automatic air distribution control is switched on, the air
distribution control will temporarily be switched off. If the concentration of pollut-
ants decreases to the normal level, the air distribution control is automatically
switched off so that fresh air can be guided into the vehicle interior.

WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as
"stale" air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your attention
and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.

The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature
is higher than approx. 2 °C.
Controlling blower
There are a total of seven blower stages available.
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with the
interior temperature. You can also, however, adapt the blower stages manually to
suit your particular needs.
