Climate control103
Climate control
Heating and ventilation system,
air conditioning system
Ventilation, heating and cooling are
combined into one unit that is designed to
provide comfort regardless of the season,
weather or outside temperature.
When cooling is activated, the air is cooled
and dehumidified (dried).
The heating unit heats the air as required in
all operating modes, depending on the
position of the temperature rotary knob.
The air supply can be adjusted to suit
personal requirements by means of the
fan.
Air conditioning system - see page 109.
Electronic Climate Control (ECC) 3
Provides the greatest amount of comfort in
the vehicle interior, regardless of the
weather, outside temperature or season.
To ensure a constant and comfortable
climate in the vehicle, the temperature of
inflowing air, the air flow rate, air
distribution mode, air recirculation mode
and air conditioning are automatically
adapted based on the climate conditions
outside the vehicle and the current
temperature of the vehicle interior.
