Automatic time synchronisation 3
The RDS signal of most VHF transmitters
automatically sets the time.
Some transmitters do not send a correct
time signal. In such cases, we recommend
that you switch off automatic time
synchronisation.
On infotainment systems with navigation 3,
time and date are also harmonised upon
receipt of a GPS satellite signal.
The function is activated by ticking the field
in front of Synchron. clock automatical. in
the Time, Date menu.

Heating and ventilation system Temperature
Adjusted using left-hand rotary switch.
The amount of heat is dependent on the
coolant temperature and is thus not fully
attained until the engine is warm.

Air flow
Adjusted using centre rotary switch.
The rate of air flow is determined by the
fan. The fan should therefore also be
switched on during a journey.

Electronic climate control system
3
Provides a the greatest amount of comfort
in the interior regardless of the weather,
outside temperature or season.
To ensure a constant and comfortable
climate in the vehicle, the temperature of
the inflowing air, the air-flow rate and the
air distribution are changed automatically
according to climatic conditions outside
the vehicle.
The climate is regulated automatically
based on personal settings.
Temperature changes due to external
influences, such as direct sunlight, are
automatically compensated.
