Basic setting – automatic mode
In the automatic mode the automatic climate control
cools or heats the interior depending on the direction
and strength of the sunlight, outside temperature,
selected interior temperature and the actual interior
temperature of the vehicle. With the automatic climate
control switched off, the air volume and distribution can
still be set manually.
There are three basic settings for the automatic mode:
Automatic air volume control
Automatic air outlet control, left and right
Automatic air outlet control, center, see page 167
We recommend these settings to be used all year round.
Air volume and distribution are controlled
automatically.
We recommend to set the temperature switches on the
left and right to 72
°F (22°C). Please make changes from
this setting to suit your personal requirements.
Automatic airflow regulation:
Press the A on the air volume switch. The display shows
“AUTO”.
Automatic air distribution:
Press on both U knobs until they click in. The h,
j and k symbols will no longer be visible.
The economy mode and air recirculation functions will
be switched off. The automatic blower will be activated
at the same time.
