The air conditioning system99
Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from
getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or
when standing in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on
– Press the button ⇒page 97, fig. 110 the warning light lights
up in the button.
Switching recirculated air mode off
– Press again the button - the warning light in the button goes out.
The recirculated air mode is switched off au tomatically if the air distribution control
is in position  ⇒ page 97, fig. 110 . You can also switch recirculated air mode
on again from this setting by repeatedly pressing button .
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time,
as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your
attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci-
dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.

Note
Below the top row of buttons is located the interior temperature sensor. Do not
glue or cover over the sensor, otherwise it
could have an unfavourable effect on the
Climatronic.
Automatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temper-
ature and to demist the windows in the interior of the car.
Switching automatic mode on
– Set a temperature between +18 °C and +26 °C.
– Move the air outlet vents 1 and 2 ⇒ page 105, fig. 114 so that the air
flow is directed slightly upwards.
– Press the button . In the right or left top corner a warning light lights up, depending on which unit was last selected.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button lights up, the
Climatronic operates in “HIGH” mode. The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of
the Climatronic.
When pressing again the button , th e Climatronic changes into the “LOW”
mode and the warning light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses
only in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air condi-
tioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing again the button , yo u change into the “HIGH” mode.
The automatic mode is switched off by pres sing the button for the air distribution
or increasing or decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is nevertheless
regulated.

Switching cooling on and off
Switching cooling on and off
– Press the button . The warning light lights up in the button.
– When you again press the switch , the cooling system is switched
off. The warning light in the button go es out. Only the function of the
ventilation remains active when no lower temperature than the
outside temperature can be reached.
Setting temperature
You can separate the interior temperature for the left and right side sepa-
rately.
– You can set the temperature for both sides after switching on the igni- tion with the control dial .
– If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control dial . The warning light in the button lights up, this indicates
that differing temperatures for the left and right side can be set.
If the warning light in the button lights up, the temperature for both sides
cannot be set with the control dial . You can reinitiate this function by pressing
the button . The warning light in the butt on which indicates the possibility to
set differing temperatures for the left and right side, goes out.
You can set the interior temperature between +18°C and +26°C. The interior
temperature is regulated automatically with in this range. If you chose a tempera-
ture lower than +18°C, a blue symbol lights up at the start of the numerical scale. If
you chose a temperature higher than +26°C, a red symbol lights up at the end of
the numerical scale. In both limit positio ns the Climatronic operates at maximum
cooling or heating capacity, respectively. Th e temperature is not controlled in this
case. Lengthy and uneven distribution
of the air flow out of the vents (in particular at the
leg area) and large differences in temperat ure, for example when getting out of the
vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from
getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or
when standing in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on
– Press the button - the warning light lights up in the button.
Switching recirculated air mode off
– Press again the button or the button - the warning light in
the button goes out.
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time,
as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your
attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci-
dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.
Note
If the windscreen mists up, press the button ⇒page 102, fig. 113 . After
the windscreen has been demisted, press the button .
