The vehicle is equipped with one of the following air-conditioning systems:
2-zone Thermatic
Front control unit
The 2-zone Thermatic automatic air condi-

ing and ventilation system with a cooling sys-
tem. You can control the temperature sepa-
rately for the driver's and front-passenger
sides.
3-zone Thermotronic*
Front control unit
Rear control panel
The 3-zone Thermotronic automatic air con-
ditioning system combines an automatic

You can control the airflow separately for the
front and rear compartments. You can con-
trol the air distribution separately for the

General notes
2-zone Thermatic/3-zone Thermotronic*
controls the temperature and the humidity of
the vehicle interior and filters out undesirable
substances from the air.
2-zone Thermatic/3-zone Thermotronic* is
only operational when the engine is
running.
24
Optimum operation is only ach-
ieved when you drive with the side windows
and panorama sliding sunroof* closed.
i
Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the con-
venience opening feature (
Y
page 82). This
will speed up the cooling process and the
desired vehicle interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.
i
The integrated filter can filter out most
particles of dust and completely filters out
pollen. A clogged filter reduces the amount
of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For
this reason, you should always observe the
24
3-zone Thermotronic*: the "residual heat" function can only be activated or deactivated if the ignition is turned off.
