Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
fog up.
To prevent the windows from fogging up:
R
switch off climate control only briefly
R
switch on air-recirculation mode only
briefly
R
switch on the cooling with air dehumidi-
fication function
R
switch on the defrost windshield function
briefly, if required
Automatic climate control regulates the tem-
perature and the humidity of the vehicle
interior. It also filters undesirable substan-
ces out of the air.
Automatic climate control is only available
when the engine is running. Optimum opera-
tion is only achieved with the side windows
closed.
i
When the weather is warm, ventilate the
vehicle for a brief period. This will speed
up the cooling process, and the desired
vehicle interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.

The integrated filter filters out most
particles of dust and pollen. It also
reduces odors. A clogged filter reduces the
amount of air supplied to the vehicle inte-
rior. For this reason, you should always
observe the interval for replacing the fil-
ter, which is specified in the Maintenance
Booklet. As it depends on environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the
interval may be shorter than stated in the
Maintenance Booklet.
