General notes
Automatic mode is only available with dual-zone
automatic air conditioning.
In automatic mode, the set temperature is main-
tained automatically at aconstant level. The
system automatically regulates the temperature
of the dispensed air, the airflow and the air dis-
tribution.
The automatic mode functions optimally when
the "Cooling with air dehumidification" function
is activated. If necessary, cooling with air dehu-
midification can be deactivated.
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehumid- ification" function, the air inside the vehicle will
not be cooled. The air inside the vehicle will also
not be dehumidified.T he windows can fog up
more quickly. Therefore, deactivate the cooling
with air-dehumidification function only briefly.
