With the electrical range control the headlight settings can be
matched exactly to the load condition of vehicle. This prevents
oncoming traffic from being dazzled more than is unavoidable. Atthe same time the correct headlight beam setting provides the
best possible visibility for the driver.
The headlights can only be regulated with the dipped headlights
switched on.
To lower the beams, turn knurled discfrom the basicposition (0)
downwards.
K
Heated rear window 4
Only works if the engine is running. A lamp in the switch lights up
when connected.
The heating device of the rear window disconnects automatically
after 20 minutes. If the key is pressed again after 20 minutes have
passed, the heated rear windscreen will remain on until the
ignition is switched off.

Depending on the position of air distribution control
C, the air will
flow from one vent or another.
The air temperature will depend on the position of rotary knob
A.
Furthermore, vents
3and 4can be closed or opened individually
and the air flow can be oriented as necessary.
Closed vent: control in vertical position.

General notes
•To ensure proper functioning of the heating and ventilation
system, any object must be removed from the air inlet on the grid
below the windscreen.
•Only controls
Aand Ccan be adjusted to any intermediate
position.
•When driving at low speed select a slow ventilation speed and
place control
Cat to avoid fogging up of the windshields.
•Since heating efficiency depends on the coolant fluid
temperature, full heating power occurs when the engine has
reached its operating temperature.

•Disconnect air recirculation mode and A AC
C(ButtonsDand E).
•Rotary control
Ccan be set as you wish.K
Using air conditioner economically
In cooling mode the air conditioner compressor places demands
on the engine and therefore influences the fuel consumption. To
keep the period it is switched on as short as possible, the
following points should be noted.
•If the inside temperature is very high after the car has been
parked in the sun, it is recommended that doors and windows are
opened briefly to enable the hot air to escape.
•The hot air conditioner should not be switched on during a
journey if the windows or sliding/tilting roof* are open.
•The fresh air option should be selected if the desired inside
temperature can be achieved without having to turn on the cooling
system.
K
General notes
•High humidity and outside temperatures may cause
condensation and the evaporator to drip. This water is channeled
outside which can lead to the formation of puddles beneath your
vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate any leak.•For the ventilation to function correctly ice, snow or leaves in
front of the air inlets, on the grid below the windshields (passenger
side, outside) must be removed.
•Only switches
Aand Ccan by adjusted to any intermediate
position.
•When driving at low speed it is advisable to set a low fan speed
and to set switch
Cto position to avoid fogging of the
windshields.
•Since the efficiency of the heating system depends on the
temperature of the coolant, maximum efficiency is achieved when
the temperature reaches service temperature.
•Stale air is channeled outside through the boot area. For this
reason, do not obstruct the air passage from the passenger cabin
to the rear part by placing clothing on the rear shelf.
