Automatic climate control
Tips for pleasant driving
Use the automatic system, i.e., press
AUTO button 4. Select an interior tem-
perature that is comfortable for you -
we recommend 707 (226) as a com-
fortable setting. When the outside tem-
perature is above 427 (56), you can
also use the air conditioning system 14.
This will dry the air and prevent window
fogging, for example if people are wear-
ing damp clothes in the vehicle. Set the
outlets 2 so that the air flows past you
and does not flow directly at you. Set
the rotary dial between the air outlets 2
for the upper body to a medium posi-
tion, since air that is somewhat cooler
promotes driving without fatigue.
The following description will guide you
through additional individual settings.
You can make the settings of your
vehicle in such a manner that,
when you unlock the car with your per-
sonalized remote control, your own per-
sonalized setting of the automatic cli-
mate control is initiated.<
Automatic air distribution
The AUTO program as-
sumes the adjustment of
the air distribution and the air supply for
you and in addition adapts the tempera-
ture to external influences (summer,
winter) to meet preferences you can
specify. This program maintains a com-
fortable in-car climate regardless of the
season. Select an interior temperature
that is comfortable for you - we recom-
mend 707 (226) as a comfortable
setting.
The temperature setting and the word
"AUTO" for the air flow appear in the
display 7 (refer to the overview on
page 100). Open the ventilation outlet
for the upper body area. Switch on the
air conditioner in warm weather. The
maximum cooling capacity is achieved
when you set the rotary dial 3 (refer to
page 104) to cold.
Individual air distribution
You can cancel the AUTO
program by selecting spe-
cific distribution patterns to
suit your own individual re-
quirements. You can direct
air to flow onto the windows , toward
the upper body , and into the footwell
.
To defrost windshield and door
windows
This program quickly removes
ice and condensation from the
windshield and the side windows.
Air conditioner
The air is cooled and dehumidi-
fied and - depending on the tem-
perature setting - warmed again when
the air conditioner system is switched
on.
Depending on the weather, the wind-
shield may fog over briefly when the en-
gine is started.
At outside temperatures below approx.
427 (56), switch off the air condi-
tioner. This will help to prevent the win-
dows from fogging up.
If the windows fog over immediately af-
ter the air conditioner is switched off,
switch it back on.
Condensation forms in the air con-
ditioner system during operation,
which then exits under the vehicle.
Traces of condensed water of this kind
are thus normal.<
