Thermatic is only operational while the engine
is running. It can only function properly
when all the windows and the sliding
sunroof* are closed.
Thermatic can be switched off completely
as required ( page 186).
You can allow the air conditioning to adjust
automatically ( page 187) or you can
control it manually ( page 187).
In automatic mode, Thermatic cools or
heats the vehicle interior depending on:
the temperature selected
the outside temperature
sunlight
In automatic mode, you will seldom need
to change the temperature, airflow or air
distribution.
The combination filter installed filters out
all pollen as well as particles of dust to a
great extent.
i
The replacement interval for the filter
depends on environmental influences,
such as high levels of air pollution. It
may be shorter than the interval specified
in the Service Booklet. A blocked
filter reduces the air supply to the vehicle
interior.

Thermatic (automatic air conditioning)
Thermatic consumes additional fuel, thereby
damaging the environment and creating
additional costs. To reduce your consumption:
Switch off cooling in cold weather conditions
( page 186).
Thermatic will then run in economy
mode.
Ventilate the vehicle briefly in warm
weather conditions, e.g. using the summer
opening feature ( page 85).
This enables the desired temperature
inside the vehicle to be reached more
quickly.
Switch off Thermatic completely if you
are driving with the windows or sliding
sunroof* open for a long time.
This reduces the unnecessary consumption
of energy for air conditioning.
