pleasant climate.
The ionisation of the interior air is odourless and cannot, directly, be perceived in the vehicle inte-
rior.
You can switch ionisation on and off via the mul- timedia system (see the separate operating
instructions).
Ionisation can only be operated when the auto-

R solid objects between the remote control and
the vehicle
R the remote control being in an unfavourable
position in relation to the vehicle
R transmitting from an enclosed space
If the remote control battery is low, the battery
symbol on the left of the display is shown as
empty. Replace the remote control battery and
