Climate control
Overview of climate control systems
The vehicle is equipped with one of the following climate control systems:
HeatingThe heating system is a heating and
ventilation system without a cooling system.Air-conditioning systemThe air-conditioning system is a combination
of a heating and ventilation system, together
with a cooling system. Rear-compartment heatingThe separately activated rear-compartment
heating allows a separate temperature and
airflow setting for the rear compartment.Rear-compartment air-conditioning systemThe separately activated rear-compartment
air-conditioning system allows a separate
temperature and airflow setting for the rear
compartment.
On vehicles without rear-compartment climate control, the control panel is equipped with a
paper holder.

climate control system

on/off0088Sets the air distribution00800087 Defrosts the windshield
Recommendations for optimum climate
control:
R Set the temperature control to the middle
level. Only change the temperature in small
increments.
R Only use the defrosting function until the
windshield is clear again.
R Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
in a tunnel. The windows could otherwise
fog up, because the flow of fresh air is cut
off and the air inside the vehicle is
circulated.

Recommendations for optimum climate
control:
R Set the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †) . Only
change the temperature in small
increments.
R Switch on cooling with air
dehumidification. The indicator lamp in the
switch comes on.
R Only use the defrosting function until the
windshield is clear again.
R Only use the reheat function until the
fogged up windows are clear again.
R Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
in a tunnel. The windows could otherwise
fog up, because the flow of fresh air is cut
off and the air inside the vehicle is
circulated.
