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 168, 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.

duced automatically to save battery power.
Manual air distribution Turn the wheel to select the de‐
sired program or the desired in‐
termediate setting.
