compartment:
z

Set the centre rotary switch to the
desired temperature. We recommend a

: Depending on the
outside temperature and engine
temperature, the passenger compartment
can be heated more quickly by means of
supplementary electrical heating.
The auxiliary electric heater switches itself
on automatically.
The comfort and general well-being of the
vehicle occupants are to a large extent
dependent on a suitable ventilation and
heating setting.
To obtain temperature stratification in the
vehicle with a pleasant "cool head and
warm feet" effect, move the rotary air
distribution switch to
K
or
J
, move the
rotary temperature switch to approx. 22°
and open the centre air vents.
