heated when the ignition key is in posi-
tion 2. You can call up different heating
modes by repeatedly pressing the keys.
When the three indicator lamps are illu-
minated, the highest heating mode is
activated. One lamp indicates the low-
est heating mode. The temperature is
regulated with a thermostat in each
mode.
You can also switch the higher heating
modes off directly: Press the key and
hold it slightly longer.

This system ventilates the interior and
lowers its temperature by using the
blower of the automatic climate control,
when the vehicle is unattended.
The independent ventilation system is
operated via the onboard computer.
Refer to the separate Owner's Manual.
You may preselect two different activa-
tion times. The ventilation will remain
activated for 30 minutes. You can also
turn it on and off directly. Because of its
high current consumption, you should
not activate the system twice in succes-
sion without allowing the battery to be
recharged while you are driving.
When a preselected activation time is
set, the independent ventilation system
is operational at outside temperatures
above 60 7 (16 6), or by direct switch
activation. It cannot be switched on
when the vehicle is moving.
The air emerges via the air outlets for
the upper body. Therefore, the air out-
lets must be open for the system to
operate.
You can adjust the airflow volume and
the air distribution when the ignition key
is in position 1.
