Climate control
Setting the temperature
Use temperature controls 5 (
page 103)
to separately adjust the air temperature on
each side of the passenger compartment.
You should raise or lower the temperature
setting in small increments, preferably
starting at 72°F (22°C).
Increasing
̈ Turn the temperature control 5
slightly upwards.
A red marking will be visible and the
climate control system will correspond-
ingly adjust the interior air tempera-
ture.
i
The selected temperature is reached as
quickly as possible.
Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollu-
tion) may require replacement of the fil-
ter before its scheduled interval. A
clogged filter will reduce the air volume
to the interior.
If the vehicle interior is hot, ventilate
the interior before driving off.
Keep the air intake grille in front of the
windshield free of snow and debris.
i
If you use the standard settings for
heating or cooling the passenger com-
partment (
page 102), you will rarely
need to change the temperature, air
volume or air distribution.
