HeatingUsing the system
The heating system delivers air into the interior of the vehicle and
warms it as required.Setting temperature– Turn the control dial fig. 88 to the right in order to increase the temperature.
– Turn the control dial to the left in order to increase the temperature.Controlling blower– Turn the blower switch into one of the po sitions, 1 to 4, in order to switch the
blower on.
– Turn the blower switch into position 0 in order to switch the blower off.
– If you wish to shut off the fresh air supply , use the button - recirculated air mode
 page 78.Control for air distribution– You can adjust the direction of the air flow using the air distribution control
 page 78.Rear window heater– Press button . Further information page 52, “Rear window heater”. The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in order to
ensure that the heating and ventilation systems operate properly.
All controls apart from the control dial
can be set to any desired intermediate posi-
tion.
The heating effect is dependent upon the c oolant temperature, thus full heat output
only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
The blower should aways be on to prevent the windows from misting up.
Note

If the air distribution is positioned toward s the windows, the total amount of air is
used to defrost the windows and thus no air will be fed to the footwell. This can lead to
restriction of the heating comfort.

The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the luggage
compartment.
