Climate control system
Depending on vehicle equipment, your vehicle
may have an automatic climate control system
with:
— Two zones to individually adjust the tempera-
ture and air distribution for the left and right
front sides, or
— Four zones to individually adjust the tempera-
ture, air distribution, and amount of ventilation
at all of the seats.
The climate control system warms, cools, dehu-
midifies, and filters the air in the vehicle interior.
It is the most effective when the windows and
panoramic glass roof* are closed. If there is a
build-up of heat inside the vehicle, ventilation
can help to speed up the cooling process.
The climate control system automatically main-
tains a temperature once it has been set. In all
heating mode functions except defrost, the blow-
er only switches to a higher speed once the mo-
tor coolant has reached a certain temperature.
@ For the sake of the environment
Energy can be saved by switching off the A/C
mode.
@) Tips
—To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win-
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshield must be free of ice,
snow, and leaves.
— Condensation from the cooling system can
drip 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.
These systems are available again as soon as
the energy supply has been restored.

— Specific settings are stored automatically in
the active personal profile.
