WARNING
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could
otherwise fog up. This could preven tyou from
observing the traffic conditions, thereby
causing an accident. G
WARNING
Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollution)
may require replacement of the filter before
its scheduled replacement interval. Aclogged
filter will reduce the air volume to the interior
and the windows could fog up, impairing
visibility and endangering you and others.
Have a clogged filter replaced as soon as
possible at a qualified specialist workshop.
Climate control regulates the temperature
and the humidity in the vehicle interior and
filters undesirable substances out of the air.
Climate control is only operational when the
engine is running. The system only works
optimally when the side windows and the roof
are closed.
The residual heat function can only be
activated or deactivated with the ignition
switched off (Y page 129). i
Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather .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 Maintenance Booklet.
Since the replacement interval depends on
environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air
pollution, the interval may be shorter than
stated in the Maintenance Booklet. 120
