Automatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant tempera-
ture and to demist the windows in the interior of the car.
Switching automatic mode on
– Set a temperature between +18°C (64 °F) and +29°C (86 °F).
– Move the air outlet vents 3 and 4, so that the air flow is directed slightly upwards.
– Press the button , AUTO appears in the display.

The temperature control is controlled automatically. More air flows out of the air outlet
vents 1 and 2.
Setting temperature
– You can set the desired interior temperature after switching on the ignition with the
A
control dial .

You can set the interior temperature between +18°C (64°F) and +29°C (86 °F). The
interior temperature is regulated automatically within this range. If you select the
temperature below +18°C (64°F), "LO" appears in the display. If you select the temper-
ature higher than +29°C (86°F), "HI" appears in the display. 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.
Controlling blower
There are a total of seven blower stages available.
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with the inte-
rior temperature. You can also, however, adapt the blower stages manually to suit your
particular needs.

WARNING

"Stale air" may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce atten-
tion levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident
increases.

Do not switch the Climatronic system off for longer than necessary.

Switch the Climatronic system on as soon as the windows mist up.
