Sufficient ventilation
When remaining in the vehicle for an ex‐
tended period of time, ensure sufficient exter‐
nal ventilation. Do not continuously use recir‐
culated-air mode; otherwise the air quality in
the interior continuously worsens.◀
Vent settings Direct the flow of air to the win‐
dows  
  , to the upper body area 
  , or to the knee area and foot‐
well  
  . Intermediate positions
are possible. In the 6 o'clock posi‐
tion, a small amount of air is also directed to‐
ward the windows to keep them from fogging
over.
Recirculated air mode If the air outside the car has an un‐
pleasant odor or contains pollu‐
tants, shut off the supply to the interior of the
car temporarily. The system then recirculates
the air currently within the vehicle.
The recirculated air mode can also be acti‐
vated/deactivated, refer to page  12, via a but‐
ton on the steering wheel.
Air volume Press the corresponding button.
The higher the rate, the more ef‐
fective the heating or cooling will
be.
The air flow rate may be reduced or the blower
may be switched off entirely to save on battery
power.
Switching the system on/off Press and hold the left button or,
with the blower at its lowest set‐
ting, press the left button. TheSeite 108ControlsClimate108

blower and air conditioner are completely
switched off and the air supply is cut off.
To switch on the air conditioner, set the de‐
sired air flow rate.
Switching cooling function on/off The cooling function cools and
dehumidifies the incoming air be‐
fore reheating it as required, according to the
temperature setting. This function is only avail‐
able while the engine is running.
The cooling function helps to prevent conden‐
sation on the windows or to remove it quickly.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog over briefly when the engine is started.
Rear window defroster The defroster switches off auto‐
matically after a certain time or
when the hardtop is opened.
