Observe these notes for optimal use of the automatic climate control.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" function is even available when the engine is not running
(

page 17).
Use the residual heat function if you want to heat or ventilate the vehicle interior when the ignition
is switched off. The residual heat function can only be activated or deactivated with the ignition
switched off. When the ignition is switched on, the residual heat function is switched off
(

Switching cooling with air dehumidi-
fication on/off
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehumid-
ification" function, the air inside the vehicle will
not be cooled. The air inside the vehicle will also
not be dehumidified. The windows can fog up
more quickly. Therefore, deactivate the cooling
with air-dehumidification function only briefly.
The "Cooling with dehumidification" function is
available even when the combustion engine is
not running. The air inside the vehicle is cooled
and dehumidified according to the temperature
selected.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when it is in cooling mode. This is
normal and not a sign that there is a malfunc-
tion.

Switching the residual heat on or off
When the combustion engine is switched off, it
is possible to make use of the residual heat of
the engine to continue heating or ventilating the
front compartment of the vehicle for approx-
imately 30 minutes. The heating or ventilation
time depends on the interior temperature that
has been set.

temperatures, only the ventilation will be acti-
vated. The blower runs at medium speed.
Residual heat is deactivated automatically:
R
after approximately 30 minutes
R
when the ignition is switched on
R

General notes
Before entering the vehicle, you can use the
"Pre-entry climate control via SmartKey" func-
tion to briefly preheat or ventilate the driver's
seat area or the entire vehicle interior. The air
from the air vents can also be cooled.
If you activate the function, the high-voltage
battery must be sufficiently charged.
When the vehicle is pre-cooled, the following
functions are activated if required:
R
Climate control system
