Front ventilation  
1. Tap the icon for seat climate control on the  
menu bar, arrow 1.  
Change the air flow direction, arrow 1.  
Adjustment of the air volume at the vent,  
arrow 2.  
2.  
Press the steering wheel heating  
button repeatedly until the desired level is  
selected, arrow 2.  
Ventilation in the rear  
If a consumption-optimized drive mode is se-  
lected, the heater output is reduced.  
Ventilation  
Principle  
The ventilation system offers individual adjust-  
ment ranges for direct/indirect ventilation in or-  
der to optimize the flow of air within the vehi-  
cle.  
Change the air flow direction, arrow 1.  
Knurled wheel for variable opening and  
closing of the air vents, arrow 2.  
General information  
Open the air vents and position them to ensure  
effective climate control.  
The air flow heats or cools noticeably, depend-  
ing on the set desired temperature.

Gaseous pollutants are filtered.  
Ventilation in the rear, on the side  
Microbial particles, viruses and allergens  
are filtered.  
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends  
having the interior filter changed during vehicle  
maintenance.  
Pre-conditioning  
Principle  
Lever for changing the airflow direction, ar-  
row 1.  
Pre-conditioning cools or heats the vehicle in-  
terior to a comfortable temperature, depend-  
ing on the inside/outside temperature, prior to  
starting a drive. This function makes it easier  
to remove snow and ice.  
Knurled wheel for variable opening and  
closing of the air vents, arrow 2.  
Setting the ventilation  
Depending on the desired ventilation, align the  
air flow directly or indirectly toward the pas-  
sengers.  
General information  
The pre-conditioning can be switched on and  
off directly or via a preset departure time.  
The air automatically exits through the air  
vents to the windshield, the side windows, the  
upper body area and into the footwell.  
Air quality  
The system switches off automatically after  
approx. 30 minutes or when the drive-ready  
state is activated.  
General information  
The air quality in the interior is improved by the  
following components:  
Preconditioning the vehicle while it charges,  
makes it easier for the climate control system  
to regulate the temperature while driving. This  
optimizes the range.  
Emission tested passenger compartment.  
Interior filter.  
Air conditioning system to control the  
temperature, air flow and recirculated-air  
mode.  
Functional requirements  
The vehicle is in idle state or standby state.  
Stationary climate control.  
The high-voltage battery is sufficiently  
charged or a charging cable is connected.  
Interior filter  
The interior filter cleans the incoming fresh  
air or the circulated interior air in recirculation  
mode.  
If the high-voltage battery is deeply dis-  
charged, it may take some time for the  
preconditioning to be functional after the  
charging cable is connected.  
Depending on the equipment:  
Time and date are set correctly.  
The ventilation air vents are open.  
Dust and pollen is filtered out from the in-  
flowing air.  
Nano-particle emissions are reduced.
