Technical Data
The , and buttons (which regulate air distribution) can either be
selected individually or in combination.
Automatic mode
Standard setting for all seasons.Switching on automatic mode
– Select a temperature between +18°C (64°F) and +29°C (86°F).
– Press the button
⇒page 162, fig. 141 .The automatic mode maintains a constant temperature inside the vehicle and
dehumidifies the air. Air temperature, air delivery and air distribution are
regulated automatically to reach the desired interior temperature as quickly
as possible, and then to maintain this temperature. The system automatically
compensates for any variations in the outside temperature and for the effect
of direct sunlight.
The automatic temperature regulation only operates at temperature settings
between +18°C and +29°C. If a temperature below +18°C is selected, LO
appears on the display. If a temperature is selected which is higher than
+29°C, the display will show HI. In the two extreme settings, the climate
control operates continuously with maximum cooling or heating output and the temperature is not regulated automatically. The temperature is not regu-
lated.
Note
By keeping the button on the driver's side pressed for several seconds,
the temperature of the passenger's side can be set to the temperature of the
driver's side or vice versa. The display indicates the new temperature value.Selecting the temperature
Separate temperatures can be selected for the driver's and
front passenger's side.– Press the or buttons below the displays
⇒page 162,
fig. 141 until the desired temperature is selected for the driver's
side or front passenger's side.The currently selected temperature setting is shown in the display above the
buttons.
By keeping the button on the driver's side pressed for several seconds,
the temperature of the passenger's side can be set to the temperature of the
driver's side or vice versa. The display indicates the new temperature value.
The previous temperature setting can be restored by resetting the display on
the driver's or passenger's side as required.

Air outletsThe air outlets ⇒fig. 143 and can be operated as follows:
Outlets and
– The outlets can be opened and closed by turning the left thum- bwheels.
– The direction of air delivery from the outlets can be varied as re quire d using the adjuster in the ce n tre o f ea ch o u t let g rille. The
direction of air flow can be adjusted horizontally and vertically as

depending on the operating mode selected. All the outlets can provide air
that is either heated, unheated or cooled.
The heater outlets for the rear footwells are located under the front seats.
They are controlled together with outlets .
Note
The cool air provided by the climate control is mainly issued from outlets
and . To ensure adequate cooling, outlets and should therefore
never be closed completely.Air distribution

168Each of the three buttons has a specific function. The numbers relate to the
air outlets ⇒page 167, fig. 143.
Air directed to windows
This setting directs all the air to outlets 1 and 2. Unlike in setting , the
volume of air delivery remains the same.
Air to the driver/front passenger
All the air comes from outlets 3 and 4 in the dash panel and from the rear of
the centre console.
Air to the footwells
Most of the air emerges from outlets 5 and the outlets under the front seats.
Some of the air will also be issued from outlets 3 and 4.
Note
In all of the above air distribution settings, a small amount of air will still
come from the other outlets.Economical use of the climate control
Economical use of the climate control will help save fuel.Engine power is reduced and fuel consumption increases when the
climate control is in cooling mode. To ensure that the system is only
switched on when it is really necessary, please note the following
points:
– Select ECON mode if you wish to save fuel.
– Select ECON mode if you decide to open the windows or sun roof* while driving. – If the vehicle has heated up after standing in the sun, open the
windows and doors for a short time to cool the vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
By saving fuel you also reduce the amount of pollutants emitted from your
vehicle.Key settings
When the ignition is switched on, the climate control settings
assigned to the key are selected automatically.The climate control settings selected are automatically stored and assigned
to the key in use. When the vehicle is started, the climate control automati-
cally selects the settings assigned to the key. Hence, every driver automati-
cally obtains his/her preferred settings without having to select them manu-
ally.
Note
Should another driver use the key and enter other settings, the previous
settings will be deleted.
