Automatic climate control*
Tips for pleasant driving
Use the automatic system; that is press
AUTO button 6. Select an interior
temperature that is comfortable for you
— we recommend +72 7 (+22 6).
When the outside temperature is above
+41 7 (+5 6), you can also use the air
conditioner 12. This will dry the air as
well as preventing condensation on the
window surfaces — if there are passen-
gers with damp clothing, for example.
Set the air outlets 2 so that the air flows
past you and is not directed straight at
you. Set the rotary dial between the
outlets 2 for the upper body to a central
position so that cooler air will help to
prevent fatigue during the journey.
Detailed setting options are described
for you in the following section.
Your vehicle is set in such a
manner that, when you unlock the
vehicle via remote control with your
personalized key, your own setting for
the automatic climate control is initi-
ated.<
Automatic air distribution
The AUTO program
assumes the adjustment of
the air distribution and the air supply for
you and also adapts the temperature to
external influences (summer, winter) to
meet preferences you can specify. This
program maintains a comfortable in-car
climate regardless of the season. Select
an interior temperature that is comfort-
able for you — we recommend +72 7
(+22 6).
The selected temperature and AUTO
for the air flow appear in the display 9.
Refer to the overview on page 106.
Open the air outlets for the upper body.
Switch on the air conditioner 12 in
warm weather. The maximum cooling
capacity is achieved when you set
rotary dial 3 (refer to page 110) to cold.
Individual air distribution
You can cancel the AUTO
program by selecting
specific air distribution
patterns for your personal
comfort. You can direct air
to flow onto the windows , toward
the upper body , and into the
footwell .
Temperature
You can make individual
temperature adjustments on
the driver's side or the front
passenger side. Your settings will be
shown in the display 9. The displayed
temperatures are reference values for
the interior temperature. We recom-
mend +72 7 (+22 6) as a comfortable
setting, whether the air conditioner is
operating or not. When you start the
vehicle, this system ensures that the
selected temperature is achieved as
quickly as possible. It then maintains
this temperature, regardless of the
season.
Set the rotary dial 3 (refer to "Draft-free
ventilation" on page 110) to a medium
position to provide somewhat cooler
air. This helps to promote driving
without fatigue. Utilize this method of
mixing air especially for making minor
adjustments for personal comfort.
You can set uncontrolled heater
output up to +90 7 (+32 6). Full
cooling output is available from the air
conditioner down to +60 7 (+16 6).<
