Notes on using the automatic climate
control
Automatic climate control
Below, you can find a number of notes and rec-
ommendations to help you use climate control
optimally.
R
Activate climate control using the
Ã
and
¿
buttons. The indicator lamps above the
Ã
and
¿
buttons light up.
R
Vehicles with THERMOTRONIC: in automatic
mode, you can also set the climate mode
(FOCUS, MEDIUM or DIFFUSE). The MEDIUM
level is recommended.
R
Set the temperature to 22 †.
R
Only use the "Windscreen demisting" function
briefly until the windscreen is clear again.
R
Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g. if
there are unpleasant outside odours or when
in a tunnel. The windows could otherwise mist
up as no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in
air-recirculation mode.
R
Use the ZONE function to adopt the temper-
ature settings on the driver's side for the
front-passenger side and the rear compart-
ment as well. The indicator lamp above the
á
button goes out.
R
Vehicles with THERMOTRONIC: use the resid-
ual heat function if you want to heat or venti-
late the vehicle interior when the ignition is
switched off. The residual heat function can
only be activated or deactivated with the igni-
tion switched off.
R
If you change the settings of the climate con-
trol system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds at
the bottom of the screen in the multimedia
system display. You will see the current set-
tings of the various climate control functions.
ECO start/stop function
During automatic engine switch-off, the climate
control only operates at a reduced capacity. If
you require the full climate control output, you
can switch off the ECO start/stop function by
pressing the ECO button (
Y
page 143).
