switched off when AUTO is switched on. AUTO CLIMATE is shown in the display.
2. Blower speed
The blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. The blower speed is regulated automatically if
AUTO is selected. The previously set blower speed is disconnected.
NOTE
If the knob is turned counterclockwise and the blower indication in the display goes out, the blower and the air
conditioning are switched off. The display shows the blower symbol and OFF.
3. Recirculation
This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passenger compartment. The air in the
passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e. no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this function is
activated.
If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows,

adjusted or during a period of 40 seconds. The power passenger's seat can only be adjusted if the ignition key is in
position I or II, or if the engine is running.
Adjusting the seat
Seat adjustment controls 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the side of the seat can be used to move the seat to the position of your
choice.
1. Move this section of the control up or down to raise/lower the front section of the seat cushion.
2. Move the control forward/rearward to move the seat forward or rearward.
3. Move this section of the control up or down to raise/lower the rear section of the seat cushion.
4. Backrest tilt.
NOTE
The power seats have an overload protector that activates if a seat is blocked by any object. If this occurs, switch off
the ignition (key in position 0) and wait for approximately 20 seconds before operating the seat again.
Emergency stop
If the seat inadvertently begins to move, press any of the buttons to stop the seat.
Programming the seat memory, driver's seat only (option)
Three different seating positions (and the position of the door mirrors) can be stored in the seat's memory. The
memory buttons are located on the outboard side of the driver's seat (see the illustration).
The following example explains how memory button 1 can be programmed. Buttons 2 and 3 can be programmed in the
same way.
To program (store) a seat position in memory button 1:
1. Adjust the seat (and door mirrors) to the desired position (see the instructions under "Adjusting the seat").

2. Press and hold down the "M" (Memory) button.

3. With the "M" button depressed, press memory button 1 to store the seat's current position.
To move the seat to the position that it was in when memory button 1 was programmed, press and hold down button 1
until the seat stops moving.
As a safety precaution, the seat will stop automatically if the button is released before the seat has reached the preset
position.
Central locking system remote control and driver's seat memory
The remote control transmitter can also be equipped with an optional function that controls the electrically operated
driver's seat and door mirrors in the following way:
1. Adjust the seat and door mirrors to the desired position.
2. When you leave the car, lock it using the remote control.
3. The next time the driver's door is unlocked with the same remote control and that door is opened within 2 minutes,
the driver's seat and door mirrors will automatically move to the position that they were in when the doors were most
recently locked with the same remote control.
NOTE
The memory function in the remote control operates independently of the memory function in the seat.
WARNING
Because the driver's seat can be adjusted with the ignition off, children should never be left unattended in the car.
Movement of the seat can be STOPPED at any time by pressing any button on the power seat control panel.
Do not adjust the seat while driving. The seat should be adjusted so that the brake pedal can be depressed fully. In
addition, position the seat as far rearward as comfort and control allow.
The seat rails on the floor must not be obstructed in any way when the seat is in motion.
