The airflow can be distributed

6. AC – On/Off (ON/OFF)
ON : The air conditioning is on.
It is controlled by the system's
AUTO function. This way,
incoming air is cooled and
dehumidified.
OFF : Off
When the defroster function is activated the air
conditioning is automatically switched on (can
be switched off with the
AC button).
NOTE
The climate control system's demisting
function with humidity sensor is significantly
reduced with the air conditioning in deacti-
vated mode (

selected air distribution and fan speed.

9. Rear window and door mirror
defrosters
Heating is used to quickly
remove misting and ice from
the rear window and door mir-
rors. Press the button once to
start simultaneous rear win-
dow and rearview mirror
defrosting. The function is
active if one lamp is illuminated in the button.
The function is switched off manually or auto-
matically. Switch off manually with one press
on the button. Automatic switching off discon-
nects the rear window and door mirrors after
12 – 20 minutes depending on outside tem-
perature.
During cold weather the defrosting* also con-
tinues after 20 minutes in order to keep the rear
window and door mirrors free of ice and mist.
The intensity of the defrosting can be adapted
to the outside temperature. This function must
be switched off manually.
10. Temperature selector
The temperatures on the
driver and passenger sides
can be set independently.
Press the button once to acti-
vate one side only. Press
again to activate the other
side. Press the button a third time to activate
both sides.
The active side is indicated by the button's light
and in the display above the climate control
panel.
When the car is started, the most recent setting
is resumed.
NOTE
Heating or cooling cannot be hastened by
selecting a higher or lower temperature than
the actual desired temperature.
