Optimum use of automatic climate

ommendations to help you use climate control
optimally.

Only use the "Windshield defrosting" function
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 otherwise fog up,
since no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in
air-recirculation mode.

Use the ZONE function to adopt the temper-
ature settings on the driver's side for the
front-passenger side and the rear compart-
ment as well. The indicator lamp above the

trol system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds at
the bottom of the screen in the multimedia
system display. You will see the current set-
tings of the various climate control functions.
