Operation
A comfortable interior climate is quickly
reached when a temperature of +22 °C
(+72 °F) is set in automatic mode. Therefore,
we recommend you not to change this adjust-
ment, except as necessary to suit individual
preferences or particular circumstances. It is
possible to select interior temperatures from
+18 °C (+64 °F) to +29 °C (+86 °F). If a lower
or higher temperature is selected, LO
or
HI
ar
e respectively displayed on the screen.
These are approximate temperatures which
may slightly vary depending on the outside
conditions.
Climatronic maintains an excellent, comforta-
ble temperature by automatically adjusting
the supplied air temperature, the blower
speed and the air distribution. The system al-
so considers the sunlight radiation, so there
is no need for manual readjustment. There-
fore, automatic mode always provides the
best comfort for the vehicle occupants
throughout the year.
Automatic mode is switched off whenever an
adjustment is made using the buttons for air
distribution or blower. The temperature con-
tinues to self-regulate.
To switch off Climatronic, press the
–
9
button repeatedly until the display switches
off.
Manual mode
In manual mode the air temperature, flow,
and the desired air distribution can be adjus-
ted.

Temperature
It is possible to select interior temperatures
from +18 °C (+64 °F) to +29 °C (+86 °F).
These are approximate temperatures which
may slightly vary depending on the outside
conditions.
If you select temperatures below +18 ℃
(+17.78
℃
), the indication:
L
O
will appear on
the screen. In this setting the system runs at
maximum cooling output and the tempera-
ture is not regulated.
If a temperature above +29 °C (+86 °F) is se-
lected, the screen will show
HI
. In this setting
the system runs at maximum heating output
and the temperature is not controlled.
Blower
The blower can be adjusted using buttons
›››
Fig. 130
8
and
9
. If the blower is off
(level
1
is not shown on the screen) and
button

is pressed after 1 second, the Cli-
matronic switches off.
Air distribution
The air distribution is adjusted using the but-

. It is also possible to
open and close some of the air outlets sepa-
rately.
Switching the air conditioning on and off
By pressing the
A/C
button, the air cooling
system can be switched off in order to save
fuel. The temperature continues to self-regu-
late. The set temperature can then only be
reached if it is higher than the outside tem-
perature.
In rain or high humidity, we recommend
switching the
A/C
on so that the evaporator
does not allow the windscreen to steam up.

Air recirculation mode prevents strong
odours or contaminated air from the outside
air from entering in the vehicle, for example
when passing through a tunnel or in a traffic
jam.
