Maximum cooling MAX COOL
MAX COOL is only available in U.S. vehicles
with automatic climate control.
MAX COOL is only operational when the
engine is running.
If the air distribution controls as well as the
air volume control are set to à and there
is a high demand for cooling, MAX COOL is
activated. MAX COOL appears in display H
(Y page 163).
This provides the fastest possible cooling of
the
vehicle interior (when retractable hardtop
is closed).
Air recirculation mode
Switch to air recirculation mode to prevent
unpleasant odors from entering the vehicle
from the outside (e. g. before driving through
a tunnel). This setting cuts off the intake of
outside air and recirculates the air in the
passenger compartment.

Residual heat and ventilation
With the engine turned off, it is possible to
continue to heat or ventilate the interior for
up to 30 minutes. This feature makes use of
the residual heat produced by the engine.

If
you switch on the residual heat function
when outside temperatures are high, only
the ventilation will be switched on.

How long the system will provide heating
depends on the coolant temperature and
the selected temperature. The blower will
run at speed setting 1 regardless of the air
volume control setting.
