General notes
Thermotronic is only operational when the
engine is running. Optimum operation is
only achieved when you are driving with
the windows and sliding/tilting sunroof*
or panorama sliding/tilting sunroof*
closed.
You can allow the air-conditioning system
to adjust automatically (
e
page 164) or
you can adjust it manually.

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, Thermotronic cools or
heats the vehicle interior according to:
I the selected temperature
I the outside temperature
I the intensity of sunlight
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.
