Risk of accident
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. Otherwise, the windows
could mist up. This may obstruct your view of
the traffic situation and, as a result, you may
cause an accident.
THERMATIC 2-zone automatic climate con-
trol/THERMOTRONIC luxury 3-zone auto-
matic climate control controls the tempera-
ture and the humidity of the vehicle interior
and filters out undesirable substances from
the air.

Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the con-
venience opening feature (
Y
page 75). This
will speed up the cooling process and the
desired vehicle interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.
i
The integrated filter can filter out most
particles of dust and completely filters out
pollen. A clogged filter reduces the amount
of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For
this reason, you should always observe the
interval for replacing the filter, which is
specified in the Service Booklet. As it
depends on environmental conditions, e.g.
heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
i
It is possible that the "residual heat" func-
tion may be activated automatically an hour
after the key is removed. The vehicle is then
ventilated for 30 minutes to dry the air-
conditioning system.
