A reduction in the heating/air-conditioning output
may mean that it takes longer than usual to reach
the desired vehicle interior temperature or that it
cannot be reached at all.
MaxComfort mode
Depending on its equipment, your vehicle may
have a MaxComfort mode.
When the vehicle is switched on, MaxComfort
mode can be activated in all drive programs by
pressing the
&
button on the air conditioning
control panel. The maximum output of the heat-
ing/climate control system is activated in this
mode. This enables faster heating of the vehicle,
but can have a negative influence on the range.
The function is switched on when the indicator
lamp in the
&
button is lit.
Further information
In the drive program
;
or
;
q
, the best
heating output is achieved with a low blower set-
ting (level 1 to max. 3).
If the windows threaten to mist up, the blower set-
ting should be increased, and a drive program with
a higher heating/air-conditioning output selected if
need be. If necessary, switch on the "Demist wind-
screen" function (
/
page 124).
Moreover, comply with the following air-condition-
ing instructions in order to minimise energy con-
sumption:
R
Select as low a blower setting as possible.
R
Use the function for demisting the windscreen
only briefly until the misted-up windscreen is
clear again.
R
Ventilate the vehicle for a short time in warm
weather. To achieve quicker cooling, switch the
climate control to air-recirculation mode
briefly. This will accelerate the cooling process
and the desired vehicle interior temperature
will be reached more quickly.
R
Vehicles with seat heating: using the seat heat-
ing in conjunction with a medium vehicle inte-
rior temperature results in lower fuel consump-
tion than selecting a high vehicle interior tem-
perature.
