Temperature and blower control
When the vehicle is started, the most recent set- ting is resumed. The blower should always be activated to help avoid condensation and fogging on the win-dows.
Temperature controlThe temperatures on the driver and passenger sides can beset separately.
NOTE
Heating or cooling cannot be speeded up by selecting a higher/lower temperature thanthe actual temperature required.
Blower controlTurn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise todecrease the blower speed. If AUTO (p. 127) is selected,
blower speed will be regulated automatically and this will over-ride manual adjustment.
NOTE
If the blower is turned off completely, the air conditioning is disengaged, which may resultin fogging on the windows.

Automatic climate control The Auto function automatically controls tem- perature (p. 127), air conditioning (p. 128),blower speed (p. 127), recirculation (p. 130)and air distribution (p. 123).
If you select one or more man- ual functions, the other func-tions continue to be controlledautomatically. The air qual-ity (p. 121) sensor is engagedand all manual settings are switched off when
AUTO is

Air conditioning
The air conditioning function cools and dehu- midifies the air in the passenger compartment.
When the indicator light in the button is on, the air condition-ing is controlled automatically.This cools/heats and dehu-midifies the incoming air. Whenthe indicator light in the buttonis off, the air conditioning is
disengaged. Other functions are still controlledautomatically. When maximum defroster (p. 128)is selected, the air conditioning system is set formaximum blower speed and dehumidifies thecabin as quickly as possible.

NOTE
•Triangular areas at the far sides of the windshield are not heated electrically andwill take slightly longer to defrost/de-ice.
• The heated windshield may affect theperformance/range of e.g., transpondersused to automatically pay highway tolls orother communication equipment.
The following occurs when the defroster/wind- shield heating functions have been activated:
• Blower speed increases automatically andthe air conditioning (p. 128) will switch on (ifnot already on and if the passenger compart-ment blower is not turned off) to dehumidifythe air in the passenger compartment. Airconditioning can be switched off by pressing the
AC button.
• Recirculation (p. 130) will not function while defrost is engaged.
The climate system will return to its previous set-tings when the defroster/windshield heatingfunction is switched off. See also Heated windshield *, rear window and
door mirror defrosters (p. 100) for additional information.

Air distribution – function
The air distribution function consists of three buttons.
Manual air distribution—defroster
Manual air distribution—dashboard air vents
Manual air distribution—floor
When a button is pressed, the corresponding fig- ure will appear in the display with an arrow indi-cating which manual air flow has been selected(see the following illustration). See also the airdistribution chart (p. 131).
Air distribution is shown in the center console display

CLIMATE

Air distribution – recirculation Recirculation can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc., from the passenger com-partment.
The air in the passenger com- partment is then recirculated,i.e., no air from outside the caris taken into the car when thisfunction is activated. The indi-cator light in the button will illu-minate when recirculation is
selected. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insidesof the windows, especially in winter.
TimerThe timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function isselected by automatically switching off the func-tion after a certain length of time, depending onthe ambient temperature. Activate/deactivate the function under
Climate settingsRecirculation timer. See My Car – introduction
(p. 71) for a description of the menu system.
NOTE
When Defroster is selected, recirculation is always deactivated.
