ture are controlled automatically.
Depending on the selected temperature, AUTO
intensity, and outside influences, the air is di‐
rected to the windshield, side windows, upper

The cooling function, refer to page 140, is
switched on automatically with the AUTO pro‐
gram.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con‐
trols the program so as to prevent window con‐
densation as much as possible.

control of the air flow and air distribution can be
adjusted.

AUTO button to utilize the condensation sensor.
