Climate control functions in detail
Switching the system on/off
Switching on
Set any air volume.
Switching off
Turn wheel for air quantity to the
left until the control switches off.
Temperature
Turn the ring to set the desired
temperature.
Cooling function
The air in the car's interior will be cooled and
dehumidified and, depending on the tempera‐
ture setting, warmed again.
The car's interior can only be cooled with the
engine running.
Press button.
Air conditioning is switched on or off.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog up briefly when the engine is started.
The air conditioner produces condensation wa‐
ter, refer to page 164, that will exit from below
the car.
Recirculated-air mode
You may respond to unpleasant odors or pollu‐
tants in the immediate environment by tempo‐
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.
Press button repeatedly to select an
operating mode:
▷LED off: outside air flows in continuously.▷LED on, recirculated-air mode: the supply
of outside air into the vehicle is perma‐
nently blocked.
To prevent window condensation, recirculated
air mode switches off automatically after a cer‐
tain amount of time, depending on the external
temperature.
With constant recirculated-air mode, the air
quality in the car's interior deteriorates and the
fogging of the windows increases.
If the windows fog over, switch off recirculated-
air mode and increase the air flow, if needed.
Air flow, manual
Turn the ring to set the desired
air volume.
The higher the rate, the more ef‐
fective the heating or cooling will
be.
The air flow from the air conditioner may be re‐
duced automatically to save battery power.
Manual air distribution
Turn the wheel to select the de‐
sired program or the desired in‐
termediate setting.

crease the air flow and temperature, and, if
needed, use the cooling function.
Windshield defroster
Press button.
The front window defroster switches
off automatically after a certain period of time.
Rear window defroster
Press button.
The rear window defroster switches off
automatically after a certain period of time.
When GREEN Mode, refer to page 169, is acti‐
vated, the heater output is reduced.
Microfilter
In external and recirculated air mode the mi‐
crofilter filters dust and pollen from the air.
This filter should be replaced during scheduled
maintenance, refer to page 201, of your vehi‐
cle.

Temperature
Turn the ring to set the desired
temperature.
The automatic climate control reaches this
temperature as quickly as possible, if needed
by increasing the cooling or heating output,
and then keeps it constant.
Do not rapidly switch between different tem‐
perature settings. The automatic climate con‐
trol will not have sufficient time to adjust the
set temperature.

densation water, refer to page 164, develops
that exits underneath the vehicle.
Maximum cooling
Press button.
The system is set to the lowest temper‐
ature, optimum air flow and air circulation
mode.
Air flows out of the vents to the upper body re‐
gion. The vents need to be open for this.
The function is available with external tempera‐
tures beyond approx. 32 ℉/0 ℃ and with the
engine running.
Adjust air flow with the program active.
AUTO program
Press button.
Air flow, air distribution and tempera‐
ture are controlled automatically.
Depending on the selected temperature, AUTO
intensity and outside influences, the air is di‐
rected to the windshield, side windows, upper
body, and into the floor area.

The Coasting driving condition is enabled under
certain conditions.
Under certain conditions the engine is auto‐
matically decoupled from the transmission in
selector lever position D. The vehicle continues
traveling with the engine idling to reduce fuel
consumption. Selector lever position D remains
engaged. An indicator provides information
about the distance traveled in Coasting mode.
In addition, context-sensitive instructions are
displayed to assist with an optimized fuel con‐
sumption driving style.
The achieved extended range is displayed in
the instrument cluster.
Overview
The system includes the following MINIMAL
functions and displays:
▷GREEN bonus range, refer to page 171.▷GREEN tips driving instruction, refer to

ture, or adjusting the rate of heating or cooling
of the car's interior fuel consumption can be
economized.
The outputs of the seat heater and the exterior
Additionally heat output to seats and exterior
mirror is reduced.
Exterior mirror heat is available when outside
temperatures are very low.
GREEN potential
The percentage of potential savings that can be
achieved with the current configuration is dis‐
played.
