Automatic climate control*
Tips for pleasant driving
Use the automatic system, that is,
press AUTO button 6. Select an interior
temperature that is comfortable for you
– we recommend 707 (226). When
the outside temperature is above 417
(56), you can also use the air condi-
tioner 12. This will dry the air and pre-
vent the window from fogging (for ex-
ample if people are wearing damp
clothes in the vehicle). Set the outlets 2
so that the airflows past you and is not
directed straight at you. Set the rotary
dial between the outlets 2 for the upper
body to a central position. This will pro-
vide cooler air, and help to prevent fa-
tigue during the journey.
Detailed setting options are described
for you in the following section.
You can make the settings of your
vehicle in such a manner that,
when you unlock the vehicle with the
remote control of your personal key,
your own personalized setting for the
automatic climate control is initiated.<
Automatic air distribution
The AUTO program assumes
the adjustment of the air
distribution and the air supply for you
and also adapts the temperature to
external influences (summer, winter) to
meet preferences you can specify. This
program maintains a comfortable in-car
climate regardless of the season. Select
an interior temperature that is pleasant
for you – we recommend 707 (226).
The selected temperature and AUTO
for the airflow appear in the display 9.
Refer to the overview on page 114.
Open the ventilation outlets for the
upper body. Switch on the air condi-
tioner 12 in warm weather. The maxi-
mum cooling capacity is achieved when
you set the rotary dial 3 (refer to
page 118) to cold.
Individual air distribution
You can cancel the AUTO
program by selecting specific
distribution patterns to suit
your own individual require-
ments. You can direct air to flow onto
the windows , toward the upper body
and into the footwell .
Temperature
You can make individual
temperature settings on the
driver's side or the front
passenger side. Your settings will be
shown in the display 9. The displayed
temperatures are reference values for
the interior temperature. We recom-
mend 707 (226) as a comfortable
setting, whether the air conditioner is
operating or not. When you start the
vehicle, the system ensures that the
selected temperature is achieved as
quickly as possible. It then maintains
this temperature, regardless of the
season.
Set the rotary dial 3 (refer to "Draft-free
ventilation" on page 118) to a medium
position to provide somewhat cooler
air. This helps to promote driving with-
out fatigue. Make use of this means of
mixing air especially for making minor
adjustments for personal comfort.
You can set uncontrolled heater
output at up to 90 7 (326). Full
cooling output is available from the air
conditioner down to 60 7 (166).<
