Automatic climate control
Automatic recirculated air control
(AUC)
You can respond to
unpleasant external odors
by temporarily excluding the flow of
outside air. The system then recircu-
lates the air currently within the vehicle.
By repeated actuations of the button,
you can select one of three different
operation modes.
> Indicator lamps off: outside air flow
operational.
> Left-hand indicator lamp on – AUC
mode: the system recognizes pollut-
ants in the outside air and blocks the
flow of air when necessary. The
system then recirculates the air
currently within the vehicle.
Depending on the air quality, the
automatic system then switches back
and forth between outside air supply
and recirculation of the air within the
vehicle.
> Right indicator lamp on – recirculated
air mode: the flow of external air into
the vehicle is completely blocked.
The system then recirculates the air
currently within the vehicle.
If the windows fog over in the
recirculated air mode, switch the
recirculated air off and increase the air
supply as required.<
Rear window defroster
When the rear window
defroster is activated, the
indicator lamp comes on. The rear
window defroster switches off auto-
matically.
Residual heat mode
The heat which is stored in
the engine is utilized for
heating the interior when the engine
has been switched off (while waiting
at a railroad crossing, for instance).
In ignition key position 1, you can alter
the settings of the automatic climate
control. With the ignition key in posi-
tion 0, the system automatically directs
heated air to the windshield, side
windows and footwells.
This function may be activated
when the outside temperature is
below approx. 59 7 (15 6), the engine
is at operating temperature, and the
battery is adequately charged. The LED
on the button will light up when all
conditions have been met.<
Draft-free ventilation
For your optimal personal comfort, you
can adjust airflow onto the upper body
area from the air outlets:
Use rotary dial 1 to open and close the
air outlets through an infinitely-variable
range. You can use the levers 2 to
adjust the direction of the airflow.
Set the air outlets so that the air flows
past you and is not directed straight at
you.
Rotary dial 3 allows you to control the
temperature of the air flow from these
air outlets as desired:
> Turn toward blue – colder.
> Turn toward red – warmer.
