ommendations to enable you to get the most
out of your 3-zone automatic climate control.

tion briefly until the windshield is clear
again.
R
Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
if there are unpleasant outside odors or
when in a tunnel. The windows could oth-
erwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn
into the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.

Use the ZONE function to adopt the tem-
perature settings on the driver's side for
the front-passenger side and the rear com-
partment as well. The indicator lamp above
the á button goes out.

heat or ventilate the vehicle interior when
the ignition is switched off. The residual
heat function can only be activated or deac-
tivated with the ignition switched off.

Vehicles with COMAND: if you change the
settings of the climate control system, the
climate status display appears for approx-
imately three seconds at the bottom of the
screen in the COMAND display. See also
the separate COMAND operating instruc-
tions. You will see the current settings of
the various climate control functions.

mate control system only operates at a
reduced capacity. If you require the full cli-
mate control output, you can switch off the
ECO start/stop function by pressing the ECO
button (
