Optimum use of automatic climate
control
The following contains notes and recommenda-
tions on optimum use of the dual-zone auto-
matic climate control or 3-zone automatic cli-
mate control.
R
You can switch on climate control by using the
à and ¿ or à and Á buttons.
The indicator lamps in the à and
¿ buttons or the à and Á buttons
light up.
R
Vehicles with 3-zone automatic climate
control: in automatic mode, you can also use
the ñ button to set a climate mode
(FOCUS/MEDIUM/DIFFUSE). The MEDIUM
level is recommended.
R
Set the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
R
Only use the "Windshield defrosting" function
briefly until the windshield is clear again.
R
Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g. if
there are unpleasant outside odors or when in
a tunnel. The windows could otherwise fog up,
since no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in
air-recirculation mode.
R
Vehicles with 3-zone automatic climate
control: use the ZONE function to adopt the
temperature settings on the driver's side for
the front-passenger side and the rear com-
partment as well. The indicator lamp above
the á button goes out.
R
Vehicles with 3-zone automatic climate
control: use the "residual heat" function if
you want to heat or ventilate the vehicle inte-
rior when the ignition is switched off. The
residual heat function can only be activated or
deactivated with the ignition switched off.
R
If you change the settings of the climate con-
trol system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds at
the bottom of the screen in the multimedia
system display. You will see the current set-
tings of the various climate control functions.
During automatic engine switch-off, the climate
control system only operates at a reduced capa-
city. If you require the full climate control output,
you can switch off the ECO start/stop function
by pressing the ECO button (Y page 145).
