Automatic climate control Tips for pleasant driving Use the automatic system (that is press
AUTO button 6). Select an interior tem-
perature that is comfortable for you Ñ
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 Ñ if there are passengers
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 man-
ner that, when you unlock the ve-
hicle via remote control with your per-
sonalized key, your own setting for the
automatic climate control is initiated.<
Automatic air distribution
The AUTO program as-
sumes 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 Ñ 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 90. Open
the ventilation outlets for the upper
body. Switch on the air conditioner 12
in warm weather. The maximum cooling
capacity is achieved when you set ro-
tary dial 3 (refer to page 94) to cold.
Individual air distribution
You can cancel the AUTO
program by selecting spe-
cific 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 94) to a medium
position to provide somewhat cooler
air. This helps to promote driving with-
out fatigue. Utilize this method of mix-
ing 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).<
