Fig. 67 Automatic climate control system: controls
You can control the functions through the dial,
buttons in the dial and the buttons. Press the
buttons to turn the functions on or off. The LED
ina button will light up when the function is
switched on.
Pressing the AUTO button and setting the tem-
perature to 72 °F (22 °C) is recommended. The
automatic climate control system automatically
maintains a temperature once it has been set.
The air temperature coming from the vents, the
blower speed, and the air distribution are also
automatically adjusted. In all heating mode func-
tions except defrost, the blower only switches to
a higher speed once the engine coolant has
reached a certain temperature.
& Blower
The blower speed can be adjusted in small incre-
ments using the dial (@). The blower should al-
ways run at a low setting to prevent the windows
from fogging and to ensure a continuous ex-
change of air inside the vehicle. You can adjust
the volume of air generated by the blower to your
preference. To have the blower regulated auto-
matically, press the AUTO button.
A/C Cooling mode
You can turn the cooling system on or off by
pressing the A/C button. The air is not cooled and
humidity is not removed when cooling mode is

switched off. This can cause fog on the windows.
Cooling mode switches off automatically when
the outside temperature is below zero.
The temperature can be adjusted with the control
©.
@ / @ Temperature
The temperature can be adjusted in small incre-
ments using the dial (2).
AUTO Automatic mode
The AUTO button turns on automatic mode. AU-
TO mode switches off once a button in the cli-
mate control system is pressed. Automatic mode
maintains a constant temperature inside the ve-
hicle. Air temperature, airflow and air distribu-
tion are controlled automatically.
Air distribution
The air distribution can be adjusted with the con-
trol @). To have the air distribution regulated au-
tomatically, press the AUTO button.
The air vents in the cockpit are adjustable.
To keep the front side windows from fogging up
in damp weather, we recommend opening the
side air vents and tilting them to the side.
<—& Recirculation mode
The recirculation mode can be turned on manual-
ly or automatically*.
