notes
Observe thesettings recom mended onthe fol-
lowing pages. Thewindows couldotherwisefog
up.
To preven tthe windows fromfogging up:
R switch offclimate control only briefly
R switch onair-rec irculation modeonlybriefly
R switch onthe cooling withairdehumidifica-

R switch onthe defrost windshield function
briefly, ifrequired
The air-con ditionin gsystem ordual-zon eauto-
matic climate control regulates thetemper ature
and thehumidity ofthe vehicle interiorand fil-
ters undesirable substancesfrom theair.
The air-con ditionin gsystem ordual-zon eauto-
matic climate control can only beoperated
when theengin eis runn ing.Optimum operation
is only achieved withtheside windows andpan-
orama roofwith power tilt/sliding panelclosed.
If you start theengine usingyoursmart phone,
the last select edclimate control settingisreac-
tivat ed(Ypage 83).
The residual heatfunctioncanonly beactivat ed
or deactivat edwith theignition switched off
