Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
if there are unpleasant outside odors or when
in a tunnel. The windows could otherwise fog
up, since no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle
in air-recirculation mode.
Vehicles with 3-zone automatic climate control:
use the "Residual heat" function if you want to
heat or ventilate the vehicle interior when the
ignition is switched off. The residual heat func-
tion can only be activated or deactivated with
the ignition switched off. The residual heat func-
tion is deactivated when the ignition is switched
on.

Switching cooling with air dehumidification on/off
General notes
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehumidification" function, the air inside the vehicle will not
be cooled. The air inside the vehicle will also not be dehumidified. The windows can fog up more
quickly. Therefore, only deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehumidification" function briefly.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" function is only available when the engine is running. The air
inside the vehicle is cooled and dehumidified according to the temperature selected.
Condensation may drip from the underside of the vehicle when it is in cooling mode. This is normal
and not a sign that there is a malfunction.
