Automatic climate control
The following contains instructions and
recommendations to enable you to get the
most out of your automatic climate control.

Activate climate control using the à and
¿ buttons or the Á button on the
control panel of the climate control. The
indicator lamps in the à and ¿
buttons or the Á button light up.

Only use the "Windshield defrosting"
function briefly until the windshield is clear
again.

Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
if there are unpleasant outside odors or

into the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.

temperature settings on the driver's side
for the front-passenger side as well. The
indicator lamp in the á button goes out.
