Comfortable interior climate
Maximum cooling
For almost all conditions, the AUTO program 4
offers the optimum air distribution and air flow
rate, refer to AUTO program below. Select a
comfortable interior temperature only.
Press the button.
The system is set to the lowest tem‐
perature, maximum air volume and recirculated-
air mode.
The following sections contain more detailed in‐
formation on the available setting options.
Air flows out of the vents for the upper body re‐
gion. Open them for this purpose.
Most of these settings are stored for the remote
control currently in use, Personal Profile set‐
tings, refer to page 31.
Air is cooled as quickly as possible:
▷
At an external temperature of approx.
32 ℉/0 ℃.
Manual air distribution

Upper body region.
Footwell.
Depending on the selected temperature, AUTO
intensity, and outside influences, the air is di‐
rected to the windshield, side windows, upper
body, and into the footwell.
The programs can be combined as necessary.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
Temperature
Turn the wheel to set the desired
temperature.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con‐
trols the program in such a way that window
condensation is prevented as much as possible.
The automatic climate control

with the maximum cooling or heating capacity,
and then keeps it constant.
Intensity of the AUTO program
Avoid rapidly switching between different tem‐
perature settings. The automatic climate control
will not have sufficient time to adjust the set
temperature.
With the AUTO program switched on, automatic
control of the air volume and air distribution can
be adjusted.
Press the left or right side of the button:
decrease or increase the intensity.
Maximum heating power can be obtained with
the highest setting, regardless of the external
temperature.
The selected intensity is shown on the display
of the automatic climate control.
At the lowest setting, cooling is continuous, re‐
gardless of the external temperature.
Air volume, manual
To be able to manually adjust the air volume,
switch off the AUTO program first.

The air volume of the automatic climate control
may be reduced automatically to save battery
power.
If the temperature setting is changed on the
driver's side, the temperature on the front pas‐
senger side changes as well.
Automatic recirculated air mode/
recirculated air mode
You can respond to unpleasant odors or pollu‐
tants in the immediate environment by tempo‐
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.
The program is switched off if the setting is
changed on the front passenger side or the but‐
ton is pressed again.
Defrosting and defogging windows
Press the button.
Ice and condensation are quickly re‐
moved from the windshield and the front side
windows.
Press the button repeatedly to select
an operating mode:
▷
▷
LEDs off: outside air flows in continuously.
For this purpose, also switch on the cooling
function.
Left LED on, automatic recirculated-air con‐
trol: a sensor detects pollutants in the out‐
side air and controls the shutoff automati‐
cally.
Cooling function
The passenger compartment can only be
cooled with the engine running.
▷
Right LED on, recirculated air mode: the
supply of outside air into the vehicle is per‐
manently blocked.
Press the button.
The air is cooled and dehumidified and
– depending on the temperature setting –
warmed again.
If the windows are fogged over, switch off
the recirculated-air mode and press the
AUTO button to utilize the condensation
sensor. Make sure that air can flow onto the
windshield.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog up briefly when the engine is started.
Continuous recirculated-air mode
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
The recirculated air mode should not be
used for an extended period of time, as the air
quality inside the vehicle deteriorates steadily.◀
When using the automatic climate control, con‐
densation water, refer to page 128, develops
that exits underneath the vehicle.
Via the button on the steering wheel
Rear window defroster
A button on the steering wheel can be used to
quickly switch between recirculated air mode
and the previous setting.
Press the button.
The rear window defroster switches off
automatically after a certain period of time.

Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter traps dust and pollen in the in‐
coming air.
Press and hold the left button or, with
the setting at the lowest level, press the
left button.
The activated-charcoal filter removes gaseous
pollutants from the outside air that enters the
vehicle.
All displays are cleared except for the rear win‐
dow defroster if it is switched on.
Your service center replaces this combined filter
during routine maintenance.
When the automatic climate control is switched
off, the supply of outside air is suspended. If the
air quality deteriorates or the window fogs over,
switch the system back on and increase the air
flow rate.
Parked-car ventilation
The concept
The parked-car ventilation blows air into the
passenger compartment to lower interior tem‐
peratures.
Switching on
Press any button, except for the buttons for the
ALL program or rear window heating.
The system can be switched on and off at any
external temperature, either directly or by using
a preset switch-on time. It remains switched on
for 30 minutes.
Ventilation
Since the system uses a substantial amount of
electrical current, refrain from activating it twice
in succession without allowing the battery to be
recharged in normal operation between use.
Open the vents to allow air to flow out.
They can be operated via iDrive.
