Temperature adjustment
You can turn to select the
desired temperatures for the
driver's and passenger sides.
Your settings appear on the
Control Display's status line.
The figures in the display provide a general
indication of interior temperature. 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.
Defrosting windows and removing
condensation
This program quickly removes
ice and condensation from the
windshield and door windows.
Adjusting air supply manually
You can adjust the air supply by
turning. The automatic air sup-
ply control is operational when-
ever you see your selection rep-
resented by a bar on the
Control Display's status line. The automatic
air distribution remains in operation as
before. You can reactivate the automatic air
supply mode with the AUTO button.
Switching air conditioner mode on
and off manually
The air conditioner cools and
dehumidifies the incoming air
before also reheating it as
required, according to temperature setting.
Depending on the weather, the windshield
may fog over briefly when the engine is
started.
The air conditioner comes on automatically
when you select the AUTO program.
Maximum cooling
This program quickly provides
maximum cooling.
The temperature display reverts
to 607/166 while the system
switches to the recirculated-air mode and
starts to provide maximum air supply through the vent outlets only. For this rea-
son you should ensure that these outlets
are open before selecting this program.
Outside air/AUC Automatic
recirculated-air control/recirculated
air
You can respond to unpleasant
odors or pollutants in the imme-
diate environment by tempo-
rarily suspending the supply of outside air.
The system then recirculates the air cur-
rently within the vehicle. AUC executes this
function automatically.
Press the button repeatedly to run through
the following control sequence:
>Indicator lamps off: outside air flows
into the vehicle
>Left indicator lamp on, AUC mode: the
system detects pollutants in the outside
air and responds by blocking the supply
of outside air when required. The sys-
tem then recirculates the air currently
within the vehicle.
Depending upon air quality, in the auto-
matic mode the system may start to
alternate between its outside-air and
recirculated-air modes
>Right indicator lamp on, recirculated-air
mode: the supply of outside air into the
vehicle is permanently blocked. The
system then recirculates the air cur-
rently within the vehicle.
If condensation starts to form on the
inside window surfaces during opera-
tion in the recirculated-air mode, you
should switch it off while also increasing air
supply as required.<
Residual heat mode
The system uses the warmth
stored in the engine to heat the
interior when the ignition is off,
for instance, while the vehicle
is stopped at a school to pick
up a child.
You can adjust the automatic climate con-
trol's settings when the ignition lock is in
the radio mode. The system blows heated

Rear ventilation
Use the lever1 to vary the airflow direction.
For additional information on rear ventila-
tion options, refer to page106.
Independent ventilation
System operation is controlled using the
Control Center. You can set two different
times for the system to start.
The independent ventilation blows air into
the passenger compartment to lower inte-
rior temperatures.
The system remains on for 30 minutes. You
can also switch the system on and off man-
ually. Since the system uses a substantial
amount of electrical current, you should
refrain from activating it twice in succes-
sion without allowing the battery to be
recharged in normal operation between
use.
The independent ventilation is available for
preprogrammed operation at outside tem-
peratures above approx. 59 7/156 and
for direct activation at any temperature, but
is not operational when the vehicle is
underway.
The air enters the passenger compartment
through the vent outlets in the dashboard,
which can be adjusted for both direction
and airflow. These outlets must be open for
the system to operate.

1.Activate the radio mode at the ignition
lock
2.Select "Indep. ventil." on the second
page of the "Climate" menu and confirm
your selection.
