Optimum use of 3-zone automatic cli-
mate control
Climate control system
The 3-zone automatic climate control is only
available on vehicles for Canada.
The following contains instructions and rec-
ommendations to enable you to get the most
out of your 3-zone automatic climate control.

¿ buttons. The indicator lamps above
the à and ¿ buttons light up.

In automatic mode, you can also set the
climate mode (FOCUS/MEDIUM/
DIFFUSE). The MEDIUM level is recommen-
ded.

Set the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).

Only use the "Windshield defrosting" func-
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

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.

imately three seconds at the bottom of the

tions. You will see the current settings of
the various climate control functions.
