General notes
Thermatic is only operational when the en-
gine is running. Optimum operation is only
achieved when you are driving with the
windows and sliding/tilting sunroof*
closed.
You can allow the air-conditioning system
to adjust automatically (
e
page 156) or
you can adjust it manually.

You can only set the temperature sepa-
rately for the driver's and front-passenger
sides by setting it manually (
e
page 156).
i
Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period dur-
ing warm weather, e.g. using the summer open-
ing feature (
e page 107). This helps you to
achieve the desired interior temperature more
quickly.
In automatic mode, Thermatic cools or
heats the vehicle interior according to:
I the selected temperature
I the outside temperature
The integrated combination filter largely
filters out particles of dust and completely
filters out pollen.
i
The interval for replacing the filter depends
on environmental influences such as heavy air
pollution. The interval may be shorter than that
indicated in the Service Booklet. A clogged fil-
ter reduces the amount of air supplied to the
vehicle interior.
G
Risk of accident
Follow the settings recommended on the
following pages for heating or cooling. The
windows could otherwise mist up. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic condi-
tions, thereby causing an accident.
