Automatic climate controlTips for pleasant drivingUse the automatic system (switch on
AUTO button 7). Select an interior tem-
perature 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 condi-
tioner 12. This will dry the air as well as
preventing condensation on the win-
dow surfaces – if there are passengers
with damp clothing, for example. Set
the outlets 2 so that the air flows past
you and is not directed straight at you.
Set the rotary dial between the air out-
lets 2 for the upper body to a medium
position, since air that is somewhat
cooler promotes driving without fatigue.
Detailed setting options are described
for you in the following section.
When you unlock the vehicle
using your personalized remote
control key, your vehicle is set up so
that it will retrieve and initiate your
customized setting for the automatic
climate control.<
Automatic air distribution
The AUTO program assumes
the adjustment of the air distri-
bution and the air supply for you and
adapts the temperature to external influ-
ences (summer, winter) to meet prefer-
ences you can specify. This program
maintains a comfortable in-car climate
regardless of the season. Select an inte-
rior temperature that is comfortable for
you – we recommend 72 7 (+22 6).
The temperature selected and AUTO
for the air flow appear in the display 10
(refer to the overview on page 94). Open
the air outlets for the upper body area.
Switch on the air conditioner in warm
weather. The maximum cooling capac-
ity is achieved when you set rotary dial 3
(refer to page 98) to cold.
Individual air distribution
You can cancel the AUTO pro-
gram by selecting specific dis-
tribution patterns to suit your
own individual requirements.
You can direct air to flow onto the win-
dows toward the upper body , and
into the footwell .
Temperature
The figures in the display pro-
vide a general indication of inte-
rior temperature. We recommend 72 7
(+22 6) as a comfortable setting,
whether the air conditioner is operating
or not. When you start the vehicle, the
system ensures that the selected tem-
perature is reached as quickly as possi-
ble. The system then maintains this
temperature, regardless of the season.
Set rotary dial 3 (refer to "Draft-free
ventilation" on page 98) to a medium
setting, since air that is somewhat
cooler promotes driving without fatigue.
You can use this setting for mixing air to
make minor comfort modifications.
You can set uncontrolled heater
output up to 90 7 (+32 6).
At 60 7 (+16 6), full cooling output
is available from an activated air
conditioner.<
