To preven tthe windows fromfogging up:

The air-con ditionin gsystem ordual-zon eauto-
matic climate control regulates thetemper a-
ture andthehumidity ofthe vehicle interior
and filters undesirable substancesfrom the
air.
The air-con ditionin gsystem ordual-zon eauto-
matic climate control can only beoperated
when theengin eis runn ing.Optimum opera-
tion isonly achieved withtheside windows
and panorama roofwith power tilt/sliding

If you start theengine usingyoursmart phone,
the last select edclimate control settingis
react ivated (Ypage 84).
The residual heatfunction canonly beactiva-
ted ordeactivat edwith theignition switched
