The temperature control is controlled automatically. More air flows out of the air
outlet vents
1 and 2 .
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from
getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or
when standing in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on
– Press the button - the warning light lights up in the button.
Switching recirculated air mode off
– Press again the button or the button - the warning light in
the button goes out.
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time,
as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your
attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci-
dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.
Note
If the windscreen mists up, press the button
⇒
page 109, fig. 125 . After the
windscreen has been demisted, press the button .
Setting temperature
You can separate the interior temperature for the left and right side sepa-
rately.
– You can set the temperature for both sides after switching on the igni-
tion with the control dial .
– If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control
dial .
If the temperature for the right side was set via the control dial , it can no longer
be set via the control dial - temperature for both sides. This is only possible if
you press the button for about 2 seconds.
You can set the interior temperature b16 °C (60 °F) and +29,5 °C (85 °F).
The interior temperature is regulated automatically within this range. If you select
the temperature below +16 °C (60 °F), “LO” appears in the display. If you select the
temperature higher than +29,5 °C (85 °F), “HI” appears in the display. In both limit
positions the Climatronic operates at maximum cooling or heating capacity,
respectively. The temperature is not controlled in this case.
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (in particular at the
leg area) and large differences in temperature, for example when getting out of the
vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Controlling blower
There are a total of seven blower stages available.
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line
with the interior temperature. You can also, however, adapt the blower
stages manually to suit your particular needs.
– Turn the control dial
⇒
page 109, fig. 125 to the left (reduce
blower speed) or right (increase blower speed).
Switch off the blowers, the Climatronic is switched off and in the display shows
OFF
