The automatic climat econtro lregulates the
temperature and the humidity in the vehicle
interior and filter sundesirable substances
out of the air.
Coupe: dual-zon eautomatic climat econtrol
is only operational when the engin eisrun-
ning. Optimum operation is only achieved
with the side windows closed.
Roadster: dual-zon eautomatic climate
contro lisonly operational when the engin eis
running. Optimum operation is only achieved
with the side windows and roof closed.
i When the weather is warm, ventilate the
vehicle for abrief period. This will speed up
the coolin gprocess and the desired interior
temperature will be reached more quickly. i
The integrated filter filter
sout most par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ter sout pollen. It also reduces gaseous pol-
lutant sand odors. Aclogged filter reduces
the amount of air supplied to the vehicle
interior. For this reason ,you should always
observ ethe interval for replacin gthe 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. 106

flashes three times or
remains off. The "Cool-
ing with air dehumidifi-
cation" function cannot
be switched on. Cooling with air dehumidification has been deactivated due to a

X Visit aqualified specialist workshop. Setting climate control to automatic
General notes In automatic mode, the set temperature is
controlled automatically. The system auto-
matically regulates the temperature of the
dispensed air, the airflow and the air distri-
bution.
The automatic mode functions optimally
when the "Cooling with air dehumidification"
function is activated. If necessary, cooling
with air dehumidification can be deactivated.
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehu-
midification" function, the air inside the vehi- cle will not be cooled. The air inside the vehi-
cle will also not be dehumidified. The win-
dows can fog up more quickly. Therefore,
deactivate the cooling with air-dehumidifica-
tion function only briefly.
