Maximum cooling<br />
Press the button.<br />
The system is set to the lowest<br />
temperature, maximum air volume<br />
and recirculated-air mode.<br />
Air flows out of the vent outlets for the upper<br />
body region. Open them for this purpose.<br />
Air is cooled as quickly as possible:<br />
> Above an outside temperature of approx.<br />
32 7/06<br />
> When the engine is running<br />
AUTO program<br />
Press the button.<br />
Air volume, air distribution and<br />
temperature are controlled automatically.<br />
Depending on the selected temperature, AUTO<br />
intensity and outside influences, the air is<br />
directed toward the windshield, the side windows,<br />
the upper body and the footwell.<br />
Pressing the AUTO button automatically<br />
switches on the cooling function.<br />
At the same time, a condensation sensor controls<br />
the program so as to prevent window condensation<br />
as much as possible.<br />
The program is switched off when the air distribution<br />
is set manually or the button is pressed<br />
again.<br />
Intensity of the AUTO program<br />
With the AUTO program switched on, automatic<br />
control of the air volume and air distribution<br />
can be adjusted:<br />
Press the left side of the button<br />
to reduce the intensity. Press<br />
the right side of the button to<br />
increase it.<br />
The selected intensity is shown on the display<br />
of the automatic climate control.<br />
Convertible program<br />
The Convertible program is active when the<br />
hardtop is open. In the Convertible program, the<br />
automatic climate control is optimized for driving<br />
with the hardtop open. In addition, the air<br />
volume is increased as vehicle speed increases.<br />
The effectiveness of the Convertible program<br />
can be enhanced considerably by<br />
installing the wind deflector.<<br />
Adjusting air volume manually<br />
To be able to manually adjust the air volume,<br />
switch off the AUTO program first.<br />
Press the left side of the button to<br />
reduce the air volume. Press the<br />
right side of the button to increase<br />
it.<br />
The air volume may be reduced or the blower<br />
may be switched off entirely to save on battery<br />
power. The display remains the same.<br />
Automatic recirculated-air control<br />
AUC/Recirculated-air mode<br />
You can respond to unpleasant odors or pollutants<br />
in the immediate environment by temporarily<br />
suspending the supply of outside air. The<br />
system then recirculates the air currently within<br />
the vehicle.<br />
Press the button repeatedly to<br />
select an operating mode:<br />
> LED off: outside air flows in continuously.<br />
> Left-hand LED on, AUC mode: a sensor<br />
detects pollutants in the outside air and<br />
controls the shut-off automatically.<br />
> Right-hand LED on, recirculated-air mode:<br />
the supply of outside air is permanently<br />
shut off. If the windows fog over, switch off<br />
recirculated-air mode and increase the air<br />
volume, if necessary. Make sure that air can<br />
flow onto the windshield.<br />
The recirculated-air mode should not be<br />
used over an extended period of time;<br />
otherwise, the air quality inside the car will<br />
deteriorate continuously.<<br />
