Manual air conditioning (AC) and Climatronic
Your vehicle is equipped either with a Manual AC climate control system or a Climatronic
climate control system.
On vehicles with Climatronic climate control, Climatronic information appears in the Climatronic display
and/or on the screen of the factory-installed Radio system or Radio & Navigation system.
The temperature units (Fahrenheit or Celsius) in the factory-installed Radio system or Radio &
Navigation system screen can be changed in the Settings menu in the Premium instrument cluster
display in appropriately equipped vehicles.
The dust and pollen filter
The dust and pollen filter with an activated carbon insert reduces the entry of pollutants into the
passenger compartment.
The dust and pollen filter must be replaced at the intervals recommended in ⇒ Booklet Warranty and
Maintenance so that the air conditioner can work properly.
If the effectiveness of the filter decreases prematurely due to operating the vehicle where the outside
air is heavily polluted, the dust and pollen filter should be replaced more frequently than indicated.
