WARNING
Stale air causes driver fatigue and reduces alertness, which can cause accidents, collisions, and serious personal injury.
x Never switch off the fan for a long time because no fresh air will enter the passenger com-partment.
When adjusting fan speed manually, LEDs in the knob (2) light up to indicate the current fan speed. During automatic regulation, the fan speed is not indicated.
Operation via the Infotainment system

Operation

Special considerations
When it is very hot and humid outside, water condensation can drip from the air conditioner evapora-tor and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak.
The climate control system adjusts the passenger compartment temperature as fast as possible considering the outside temperature.
Due to residual moisture in the air conditioner, the windshield may fog up after the engine is started. Switch on the windshield defroster to help evaporate the condensation as quickly as possible.
The air coming out of the vents flows through the passenger compartment and through the air vents in the luggage compartment. Do not cover these slots with clothing or other things.
