Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Control elements
automatic mode
Switching the cooling system on/off
Setting the temperature
Recirculation mode - Version 1

Controlling blower
Defrosting windscreen
The Climatronic in automatic mode ensures the best-possible setting of the
temperature of the outflowing air, the blower stage and air distribution.
The system also takes sunlight into account, which eliminates the need to al-
ter the settings manually.
The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met.
The cooling system is switched on

The engine is running.

The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.

The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to
provide cooling at a high load of the engine.
Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off
On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh air
blower is automatically switched over to "solar mode" if the sun ray's are suffi-
cient after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the sliding/tilting roof
deliver power for the fresh air blower. This supplies the interior of the car with
fresh air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 2 and 3 must be
opened » Fig. 122 on page 108.
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is fully closed.
