Automatic climate control
Air supply
In the "AUTO" program,
the air flow is controlled
automatically. AUTO will appear in the
display 9 (refer to the overview on
page 90). Use "+" and "-" to vary the air
flow. When your setting is displayed by
bars, the automatic air flow is switched
off. Automatic air distribution maintains
its setting. You can reactivate the auto-
matic air supply by pressing the
"AUTO" button.
When you press "–" during operation at
minimum blower speed all displays are
canceled: the blower, heating and air
conditioner are switched off. The out-
side air supply is closed. You can
switch the system back on by pressing
any button of the automatic climate
control (except the REST button 16).
To defrost the windshield and
door windows
This program quickly re-
moves ice and condensa-
tion from the windshield and the side
windows.
Air conditioner
The air is cooled and de-
humidified and — depend-
ing on the temperature setting —
warmed again when the air conditioner
system is switched on. Depending on
the weather, the windshield may fog
over briefly when the engine is started.
Use the button to switch the air condi-
tioner off at outside temperatures be-
low approx. 41 7 (5 6). This will help
to prevent the windows from fogging
up.
If the windows fog over after switching
the air conditioner off, switch it back
on.
Condensation forms in the air
conditioner system during opera-
tion, which then exits under the vehicle.
Traces of condensed water of this kind
are thus normal.<
Automatic recirculated air
control (AUC)
If there are unpleasant
odors or pollutants in the
outside air, you can temporarily block
the air flow from the outside. The sys-
tem then recirculates the air currently
within the vehicle.
Press the button repeatedly to run
through the following control sequence:
> Indicator lamps off: outside air flow
operational.
> Left-hand indicator lamp on – AUC
mode: the system recognizes pollut-
ants in the outside air and blocks the
flow of air when necessary. The sys-
tem then recirculates the air currently
within the vehicle.
Depending on the air quality, the
automatic system then switches back
and forth between outside air supply
and recirculation of the air within the
vehicle.
> Right-hand indicator lamp on: the
flow of external air into the vehicle is
completely blocked. The system then
recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.
If you have a multifunction steering
wheel with the button for recirculated
air (refer to page 26), you can also use
this button to switch between "Off" and
the recirculated air mode or AUC and
the recirculated air mode.
