Climate control system
Description
A pp lies to: ve hicles w ith 3 -zo ne del uxe automatic c limate
co ntrol or 4-zo ne de luxe au tomatic cl imate co ntrol
The climate control system warms, cools and re
moves humidity from the air in the vehicle interi
or.
It is the most effective when the windows and
sunroof* are closed . If there is a bu ild-up of heat
inside the vehicle, ventilat ion can he lp to speed
up the cooling process.
In all heating mode functions except for
defrost,
the blower on ly switches to a h igher speed once
the engine coolant has reached a suffic ient tem
perature.

The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the a ir .
K ey recognit ion

@ For the sake of the environment
- If you would like to reduce fuel consump
t ion, sw itch the air conditioning off. This
will also reduce emissions.
- In vehicles with a diesel engine, you can
switch the auxiliary heater off in the Info
tainment system.
(D Tips
- To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win
dows from fogging over, the a ir intake in
front of the windshield must be free of ice,
snow or leaves.
- Condensation from the cooling system can
dr ip and form a puddle of water under the
vehicle . This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak.
- The energy management system may tem porarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger.
T hese systems are ava ilable again as soon
as the ene rgy supply has been restored.
