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.

® Defrosting
The windshield and side windows are defrosted
or cleared of condensation as quickly as possible.
Align the outer air vents with the side windows.
The maximum amount of air flows mainly from
the vents below the windshield. Recirculation
mode switches off. The temperature should be
set at +72°F (22°C) or higher. Depending on the
outside temperature, the A/C cooling mode may
automatically switch on.
& Rear window defogger

switching off automatically, press and hold & for
more than three seconds. This is stored until the
ignition is switched off.

matically switch recirculation mode on or off de-
pending on the outside temperature.

or temperature could develop burns when
using the seat heating* function. To reduce
the risk of injury, these individuals should
not use seat heating*.
