Comfortable interior climateFor almost all conditions, the AUTO program
4 offers the optimum air distribution and air
flow rate, refer to AUTO program below. Select
a comfortable interior temperature only.
The following sections contain more detailed
information on the available setting options.
Most of these settings are stored for the re‐
mote control currently in use, Personal Profile
settings, refer to page 31.
Manual air distribution
Press the buttons repeatedly to select a pro‐
gram:▷Windows.▷Upper body region.▷Footwell.
The programs can be combined as necessary.
Temperature Turn the wheel to set the de‐
sired temperature.
The automatic climate control
achieves this temperature as
quickly as possible, if necessary
with the maximum cooling or heating capacity,
and then keeps it constant.
Avoid rapidly switching between different tem‐
perature settings. The automatic climate con‐
trol will not have sufficient time to adjust the
set temperature.
Maximum heating power can be obtained with
the highest setting, regardless of the external
temperature.
At the lowest setting, cooling is continuous, re‐
gardless of the external temperature.
Maximum cooling
Press the button.
The system is set to the lowest tem‐
perature, maximum air volume and recircu‐
lated-air mode.
Air flows out of the vents for the upper body
region. Open them for this purpose.
Air is cooled as quickly as possible:▷At an external temperature of approx.
32 ℉/0 ℃.▷When the engine is running.
AUTO program
Press the button.
Air volume, air distribution, and tem‐
perature are controlled automatically.
Depending on the selected temperature,
AUTO intensity, and outside influences, the air
is directed to the windshield, side windows,
upper body, and into the footwell.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con‐
trols the program in such a way that window
condensation is prevented as much as possi‐
ble.
To switch off the program: press the button
again or manually adjust the air distribution.
Intensity of the AUTO programWith the AUTO program switched on, auto‐
matic control of the air volume and air distribu‐
tion can be adjusted.
Press the left or right side of the but‐
ton: decrease or increase the inten‐
sity.
The selected intensity is shown on the display
of the automatic climate control.

Rear window defrosterPress the button.
The rear window defroster switches
off automatically after a certain period of time.
Switching the system on/off
Switching off Press and hold the left button or, with
the setting at the lowest level, press
the left button.
All displays are cleared except for the rear win‐
dow defroster if it is switched on.
When the automatic climate control is
switched off, the supply of outside air is sus‐
pended. If the air quality deteriorates or the
window fogs over, switch the system back on
and increase the air flow rate.
Switching on Press any button, except for the buttons for
the ALL program or rear window heating.
Ventilation1Use the thumbwheels to smoothly open
and close the air vents2Use the lever to change the direction of the
air flow
Ventilation for cooling
Adjust the vent to direct the air in your direc‐
tion, e.g., if the vehicle interior is hot from the
sun.
Draft-free ventilation
Adjust the vent to let the air flow past you.
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter traps dust and pollen in the in‐
coming air.
The activated-charcoal filter removes gaseous
pollutants from the outside air that enters the
vehicle.
Your service center replaces this combined fil‐
ter during routine maintenance.
Parked-car ventilation The conceptThe parked-car ventilation blows air into the
passenger compartment to lower interior tem‐
peratures.
The system can be switched on and off at any
external temperature, either directly or by us‐
ing a preset switch-on time. It remains
switched on for 30 minutes.
Since the system uses a substantial amount of
electrical current, refrain from activating it
twice in succession without allowing the bat‐
tery to be recharged in normal operation be‐
tween use.
Open the vents to allow air to flow out.
They can be operated via iDrive.
