Climate control
General notes
THERMOTRONIC 2-zone automatic climate
control controls the temperature and the
humidity of the vehicle interior and filters out
undesirable substances fro mthe air.
THERMOTRONIC 2-zone automatic climate
control is only operational when the engine is
running. Optimum operation is achieved only
when you drive with the side windows closed.
i When the weather is warm, ventilate the
vehicle for a brief period. This will speed up
the cooling process and the desired vehicle
interior temperature will be reached more
quickly.
i The integrated filter can filter out most
particles of dust and completely filters out
pollen. Aclogged filter reduces the amount
of air supplied to the vehicle interior .For
this reason, you should always observe the
interval for replacing the filter, which is
specified in the Service Booklet .As it
depends on environmental conditions, e.g.
heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Service Booklet. G
Risk of accident
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. Otherwise, the windows

midified according to the temperature selec-
ted. G
Risk of accident
If the "cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is deactivated, the air inside the vehicle
will not be cooled (during warm weather) or
dehumidified. The windows could mist up more quickly. This may prevent you from

ing an accident.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when THERMOTRONIC is in cool-
ing mode.

activated. If desired, cooling with air dehu-
midification can be deactivated.
