102nAutomatic climate control
Tips for pleasant driving
Use the automatic system, i.e., press
AUTO button 4. Select an interior temperature
that is comfortable for you -
we recommend 707 (226) as a comfortable
setting. When the outside temperature
is above 427 (56), you can
also use the air conditioning system 14.
This will dry the air and prevent window
fogging, for example if people are wearing
damp clothes in the vehicle. Set the
outlets 2 so that the air flows past you
and does not flow directly at you. Set
the rotary dial between the air outlets 2
for the upper body to a medium position,
since air that is somewhat cooler
promotes driving without fatigue.
The following description will guide you
through additional individual settings.
You can make the settings of your
vehicle in such a manner that,
when you unlock the car with your personalized
remote control, your own personalized
setting of the automatic climate
control is initiated.<
Automatic air distribution
The AUTO program assumes
the adjustment of
the air distribution and the air supply for
you and in addition adapts the temperature
to external influences (summer,
winter) to meet preferences you can
specify. This program maintains a comfortable
in-car climate regardless of the
season. Select an interior temperature
that is comfortable for you - we recommend
707 (226) as a comfortable
setting.
The temperature setting and the word
"AUTO" for the air flow appear in the
display 7 (refer to the overview on
page 100). Open the ventilation outlet
for the upper body area. Switch on the
air conditioner in warm weather. The
maximum cooling capacity is achieved
when you set the rotary dial 3 (refer to
page 104) to cold.
Individual air distribution
You can cancel the AUTO
program by selecting specific
distribution patterns to
suit your own individual requirements.
You can direct
air to flow onto the windows , toward
the upper body , and into the footwell
.
To defrost windshield and door
windows
This program quickly removes
ice and condensation from the
windshield and the side windows.
Air conditioner
The air is cooled and dehumidified
and - depending on the temperature
setting - warmed again when
the air conditioner system is switched
on.
Depending on the weather, the windshield
may fog over briefly when the engine
is started.
At outside temperatures below approx.
427 (56), switch off the air conditioner.
This will help to prevent the windows
from fogging up.
If the windows fog over immediately after
the air conditioner is switched off,
switch it back on.
Condensation forms in the air conditioner
system during operation,
which then exits under the vehicle.
Traces of condensed water of this kind
are thus normal.
