Notes on using automatic climate
control
Climate control system
Below, you can find a number of notes and
recommendations to help you use climate
control optimally.
R
Activate climate control using the Ã
rocker switch. The indicator lamp in the
à rocker switch lights up.
R
Set the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
R
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.
R
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 deac-
tivated with the ignition switched off. The
residual heat function is switched off when
the ignition is switched on.
