The air-con ditionin gsystem ordual-zon eauto-

and filters undesirable substancesfrom the
air.
The air-con ditionin gsystem ordual-zon eauto-

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
