One of the following systems can be installed
in the vehicle:
●
Heating and fresh air system
●
Manual air conditioning
●
Climatronic
The heating and fresh air system
heats and
ventilates the interior. The heating and fresh
air system cannot cool.
The manual air conditioning and the Cli-
matronic cool and dehumidify the air. They
operate most effectively with the windows
and the sunroof closed. If a great deal of heat
accumulates in the interior, ventilating it can
accelerate the cooling process.
Display of active functions
The LEDs that light up on the rotary controls
on the buttons indicate that the function in
question is activated.
In the case of the Climatronic, the control
panel screen shows the functions that are
currently activated.
WARNING
When visibility through the window display
is poor, the risk of collisions and accidents
which may cause serious injury increases.
●
T
o guarantee good visibility, keep all win-
dows free of ice and snow and properly
demisted.
●
Adjust the heating, air conditioning and
the heated rear window so that the win-
dows do not mist up.
●
Drive off only when you have good visibil-
ity through the windows.
●
Do not use the air recirculation for long
periods of time. When the cooling is switch-
ed off and the air recirculation is on, the
windows can mist over very quickly and se-
riously impair visibility.
●
Switch the air recirculation off when you
do not need it.
WARNING
Used air can quickly cause driver tiredness
and reduce their attention span, which
coul
d lead to collisions, accidents and seri-
ous injury.
●
Never switch off the fan for a long time or
leave the air recirculation on for too long,
since no exterior air enters the interior dur-
ing that time.
CAUTION
If the air conditioning is not working, switch
it off immediat
ely, together with the de-
fr
ost/demist function (in the case of man-
ual air conditioning) and have a special-
ised workshop check it out. This may help
to avoid other possible damage.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the heated rear win-
do
w
, ne
ver affix adhesives to the electric
filaments on the inside of it.
Air recirculation
In air recirculation mode, no fresh air enters
the v
ehicl
e int
erior.
To switch on the air recirculation, turn the ad-
juster to the right or press the button.
To switch off the air recirculation, turn the ad-
juster to the left or press the button
again
