- To adjust the direction o f the airflow from the o utlet,
move the tab in the cen ter of the o utlet in the desired
direction . The direction of the air delivered from the
vents can be adjusted hor izontally and vertically .
The air outlets are actuated either automatically or manually
depending on the operating mode selected . Heated or unheated
fresh air, or cooled air flows from the vents .
The air outlets to heat the rear footwell are located under the front seats.
[ i ) Tip s
If the climate control system is operating in cooling mode, air flows
primarily from the outlets in the center console and in the door
pillars . To achieve adequate cooling, you should never close the
out lets completely .•
Using climate control economically
Using the climate controls prudently can help save fuel.
When you use the a ir conditioner, engine power is reduced
and fuel consumption increases. To save fuel, you should
use the air conditioner only when necessary . A lso please
note the follow ing po ints:
- If you want to save fuel, activate ECON.
- If yo u are g oing to dr ive wit h the w indows or Panorami c
sliding sunroof* open, use ECON .
- If the ve hicle is e xtremely ho t due to the heat of t he s un,
br iefly open doors and windows .

The Adaptive Cruise Control works within limits that ar e also related
to radar sensor range and sight distance . In some situations ACC
may react unusually or late from the driver's point of view . There ­
fore, always be attentive to what is happening around you and always be ready to intervene, if necessary :
