Air conditioning functions in detail
Adjusting the air distribution manually
Press button to select a program:
▷ Window glass.
▷ Upper body area
▷ Footwell
Programs can be combined as desired.
Temperature
Turn the wheel to select the de‐
sired temperature.
The automatic air conditioning sets this tem‐
perature as quickly as possible, using higher
cooling or heating power if necessary. The tem‐
perature is then maintained.
Avoid switching between different temperature
settings in rapid succession. The automatic air
conditioning will otherwise not have sufficient
time to establish the temperature selected.
Maximum cooling effect
Press the button.
System is set to the lowest tempera‐
ture, maximum air flow and recirculated-air
mode.
The air flows from the outlets for the upper body
area. These should therefore be left open.
With the engine running the air is cooled as
quickly as possible.
The air flow can be adapted when the program
is active.
AUTO program
Press the button.
The air flow, air distribution and tem‐
perature are automatically regulated.
Depending on the selected temperature, AUTO
intensity and external influences, the air is di‐
rected towards the windscreen, side windows,
and upper body, and into the footwell.
The cooling function, see page
122 , is switched
on automatically in the AUTO program.
A condensation sensor also controls the pro‐
gram so that condensation is avoided as much
as possible.
To switch off program: press button again or
manually adjust air distribution.
Intensity of AUTO program
With the AUTO program switched on, the auto‐
matic control of air flow and air distribution can
be changed.
Pressing the button on the left or right
reduces or increases intensity.
The selected intensity is shown on the display
for automatic air conditioning.
Adjusting the air flow manually
To be able to regulate the air flow manually, first
switch off the AUTO program.
Pressing the button on the left or right
reduces or increases the air flow.
The selected air flow is shown on the display for
automatic air conditioning.
In order to protect the battery the air flow rate of
the automatic air conditioning is reduced, if nec‐
essary.
