In automatic mode, the air conditioning
automatically controls the interior temper-
ature, airflow and air distribution.
The airflow from the air vents for the rear
compartment and the head area can be
adjusted manually.
The air conditioning heats or cools the ve-
hicle interior depending on:
I
the temperature selected
I
the intensity of sunlight
I
the outside temperature
The interior filter with activated charcoal
coating removes most particles of dust,
pollen and odours drawn in from the out-
side air.
The interval for replacing the filter de-
pends on environmental factors, e.g. high
air pollution. The interval may be shorter
than that indicated in the Maintenance
Booklet.
i Condensation may collect under the ve-
hicle when the automatic climate control is in
use.
G
Risk of accident
Follow the settings recommended on the
following pages for heating and ventilation.
Otherwise, the windows could mist up, thus
impairing visibility and endangering yourself
and others.
G
Risk of injury
When automatic climate control is in opera-
tion, air flowing out of the air outlets in the
footwell may be very hot or very cold. There
is therefore a risk of burns to bare skin in
the immediate proximity of these outlets.
Keep bare skin away from these air outlets.
If necessary direct the airflow away from
the footwell and into a different area of the
vehicle interior using the air-distribution
control.
i If the vehicle interior has been heated up,
ventilate the vehicle before starting your jour-
ney or briefly switch to air-recirculation mode
for faster cooling.
Keep the air inlet between the bonnet and the
windscreen free from ice and snow.
Do not place any objects on the dashboard.
These could cover up the sun sensor on the
driver’s side .
In wintry conditions, warm air is first directed
onto the windscreen when the engine is started
to prevent the windows misting up. As the en-
gine warms up, the quantity of warm air sup-
plied to the footwell increases automatically.
