Automatic climate control
Air supply
In the "AUTO" program, the
air supply is controlled auto-
matically. AUTO will appear in the dis-
play 9. Refer to the overview on
page 82. Use "+" and "–" to vary the air
supply. Your setting is displayed with
bars and the automatic air supply is
switched off. The automatic air distribu-
tion setting is maintained. You can re-
activate the automatic air supply by
pressing the "AUTO" button.
When you press "–" during operation at
the lowest blower speed, all displays
are canceled: The fan, 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
side windows
This program quickly removes
ice and condensation from the
windshield and the side windows.
Air conditioner
The air is cooled and dehumidi-
fied and – depending on the
temperature setting – warmed again
when the air conditioner system is
switched on.
Depending on the weather, the wind-
shield may fog over briefly when the en-
gine is started.
Switch off the air conditioner at outside
temperatures below approx. 41 7
(5 6). This will help to prevent the win-
dows from fogging up. If the windows
fog over after switching the air condi-
tioner 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)
You can respond to unpleasant
external odors by temporarily
excluding the flow of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air cur-
rently within the vehicle. By repeated
actuations of the button, you can select
one of three different operation modes.
> 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 au-
tomatic system then switches back
and forth between outside air supply
and recirculation of the air within the
vehicle.
> Right indicator lamp on – recirculated
air mode: The flow of external air into
the vehicle is completely blocked.
The system then recirculates the air
currently within the vehicle.
If the windows fog over in the re-
circulated air mode, switch the re-
circulated air off and increase the air
supply as required.<
