by increasing the cooling or heating output,
and then keeps it constant.
Air flow, air distribution and temperature are
controlled automatically.
Do not rapidly switch between different tem‐
perature settings. Otherwise, the automatic cli‐
mate control will not have sufficient time to ad‐
just the set temperature.
Depending on the selected temperature, the
intensity of the AUTO program, and outside in‐
fluences, the air is directed to the windshield,
side windows, upper body, and into the floor
area.
Air conditioning
The cooling function, refer to page 161, is
switched on automatically with the AUTO pro‐
gram.
The air in the vehicle's interior will be cooled
and dehumidified and, depending on the tem‐
perature setting, warmed again.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con‐
trols the program so as to prevent window
condensation as much as possible.
The vehicle's interior can only be cooled with
the engine running.
Press button.
To switch off the program: press the button
again or manually adjust the air distribution.
Air conditioning is switched on or off.
Depending on the weather, the windshield and
side windows may fog up briefly when the en‐
gine is started.
Intensity of the AUTO program
With the AUTO program activated, the auto‐
matic intensity control can be changed.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
Press the left or right side of the but‐
ton: decrease or increase intensity.
When using the automatic climate control,
condensation water, refer to page 183, devel‐
ops and drains underneath the vehicle. This is
normal.
The selected intensity is shown on the display
of the automatic climate control.
Automatic recirculated-air control/
recirculated-air mode
Maximum cooling
Press button.
You may react 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 system is set to the lowest tem‐
perature, optimum air flow and recirculated-air
mode.
Air flows out of the vents to the upper body re‐
gion. The vents need to be open for this.
Press button repeatedly to select an
operating mode:
The function is available above an external
temperature of approx. 32 ℉/0 ℃ And with the
engine running.

Controls
Climate control
Recirculated-air mode switches off automati‐
cally at low external temperatures after a cer‐
tain amount of time in order to avoid window
fogging.
The current setting of the temperature on the
driver's side is transferred to the front passen‐
ger side.
The program is switched off if the setting on
the front passenger side is changed.
With constant recirculated-air mode, the air
quality in the vehicle's interior deteriorates and
the fogging of the windows increases.
Defrosting windows and removing
condensation
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 to the windshield.
Press button.
Ice and condensation are quickly re‐
moved from the windshield and the front side
windows.
Air flow, manual
For this purpose, point the side vents towards
the side windows as needed.
To manually adjust air flow turn off AUTO pro‐
gram first.
Press the left or right side of the but‐
ton: decrease or increase air flow.
The air flow can be adjusted with the air flow
active.
If the windows are fogged over, you can also
switch on the cooling function or press the
AUTO button to utilize the condensation sen‐
sor.
The selected air flow is shown on the display of
the automatic climate control.
The air flow of the automatic climate control
may be reduced automatically to save battery
power.
