General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. Otherwise, the windows could
mist up.
To prevent the windows from misting up:
R
switch off climate control only briefly
R
activate air-recirculation mode only briefly
R
activate the "Cooling with dehumidification"
function
R
activate the "Windscreen demisting" function
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature and
the humidity in the vehicle interior and filters
undesirable substances out of the air.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" function
is available only when the engine is running.
Optimum operation is only achieved when the
side windows and the sliding sunroof are closed.
Climate comfort may be adversely affected if the
sliding sunroof is open for a long period of time.
Set the temperature manually if the sliding sun-
roof is open.
The "Residual heat" function can be switched on
or off only when the ignition is switched off
(

page 89).
The integrated filter can filter out most particles
of dust and completely filters out pollen. A clog-
ged filter reduces the amount of air supplied to
the vehicle interior. Depending on the operating
conditions and environmental influences, the
interval for replacing the filter may be shorter
than specified.
