Overview of climate control systems
Important safety notes
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise fog up. This could prevent you from
observing the traffic conditions, thereby
causing an accident.
Climate control regulates the temperature
and the humidity in the vehicle interior and
filters undesirable substances from the air.
Dual-zone automatic climate control is only
operational when the engine is running. Opti-
mum operation is only achieved if you drive
with the side windows and sliding sunroofclosed.
The climatic comfort deteriorates whilst the
sliding sunroof is open. The automatic climate control cannot maintain the set temperature
with the sliding sunroof open. You have to
adjust the climate control manually.
iVentilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the con-
venience opening feature ( Ypage 77). This
will speed up the cooling process and the
desired vehicle interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.
iThe integrated filter can filter out most
particles of dust, and completely filters out
pollen. A clogged 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. As it
depends on environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Maintenance
Booklet.
