The interior temperature can be set between +18 °C and +26 ℃. The interior tem-
perature is regulated automatically within this range.
If a temperature lower than +18 °C is selected, a blue symbol lights up at the start
of the numerical scale.
If a temperature higher than +26 °C is selected, a red symbol lights up at the start
of the numerical scale.
At both end positions, Climatronic runs at maximum cooling/heating output and
the temperature is automatically not regulated.
Controlling blower
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with the
interior temperature. However, the blower stages can be manually adapted to
suit your particular needs.
Automatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and to
demist the windows in the interior of the car.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button lights up, the Clima-
tronic operates in "HIGH"-mode. The "HIGH" mode is the standard setting of the
Climatronic.
Upon pressing the button again, the Climatronic switches to "LOW"-mode
and the indicator light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses only in
this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise level,
this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air condition-
ing system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button again, it is changed to "HIGH"-mode.
Automatic mode is switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air distri-
bution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is never-
theless regulated.
WARNING
Do not switch off the Climatronic system for longer than necessary.
■
Switch on the Climatronic system as soon as the windows mist up.

Using the system
Note
Do not stick anything onto or cover the interior temperature sensor
■
as this could impair the functioning of the Climatronic.
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio or radio navigation system, the
■
Climatronic information is also shown on their displays. This function can be
switched off, see
»
operating instructions for the radio or navigation system.
Note
If the windscreen mists up, press the symbol button . Press the button
once the windscreen has demisted.
Using the air conditioning system economically
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 91.
The air conditioning system compressor uses power from the engine when in
cooling mode, which will affect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the inte-
rior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order to al-
low the heated air to escape.
The cooling system should not be on if the windows are open.
If the desired interior temperature can be achieved without switching the cooling
system on, then we do not recommend turning this on.
For the sake of the environment
Pollutant emissions are also reduced when fuel is saved
driving and environmental sustainability.
