Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
fog up.
To prevent the windows from fogging up:
R
switch off climate control only briefly
R
switch on air-recirculation mode only briefly
R
switch on the cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion function
R
switch on the defrost windshield function
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature and
the humidity in the vehicle interior and filters
undesirable substances out of the air.
Climate control can only be operated when the
engine is running. Optimum operation is only
achieved with the side windows and roof
closed.
i
When the weather is warm, ventilate the
vehicle for a brief period. This will speed up
the cooling process and the desired vehicle
interior temperature will be reached more
quickly.

The integrated filter filters out most parti-
cles of dust and soot and completely filters
out pollen. It also reduces gaseous pollu-
tants and odors. A clogged filter reduces the
amount of air supplied to the vehicle inte-
rior. For this reason, you should always
observe the interval for replacing the filter,
which is specified in the Maintenance Book-
let. As it depends on environmental condi-
tions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the interval
may be shorter than stated in the Mainte-
nance Booklet.
