The automatic climate control reaches this temperature as quickly as possible, if neededby increasing the cooling or heating output,and then keeps it constant.
Do not rapidly switch between different temj

outside influences, the air is directed to the
windshield, side windows, upper body, and
into the floor area.
The cooling function, refer to page 154, is
switched on automatically with the AUTO proj gram.
Recirculated-air
mode You may react to unpleasant odors or pollujtants in the immediate environment by tempojrarily suspending the supply of outside air. Thesystem then recirculates the air currentlywithin the vehicle.

To prevent window fogging, recirculated-air
mode switches off automatically after a certain amount of time, depending on the environj
mental conditions.
With constant recirculated-air mode, the air
quality in the vehicle's interior deteriorates and the fogging of the windows increases.
If the windows fog over, switch off recircuj

Universal
Integrated
Remote
Control
Concept
The Universal Integrated Remote Control can
operate up to 3 functions of remote-controlled
systems such as garage door drives or lighting
systems. The Universal Integrated Remote
Control replaces up to 3 different hand-held
transmitters. To operate the remote control,
the buttons on the interior mirror must be proj
grammed with the desired functions. The
hand-held transmitter for the particular system
is required in order to program the remote conj
trol.
Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored
functions for the sake of security.
Safety
information WARNING
Body parts can be jammed when operatj
ing remote-controlled systems, e.g., the gaj
rage door, using the integrated universal rej mote control. There is a risk of injury or risk ofproperty damage. Make sure that the area ofmovement of the respective system is clear
during programming and operation. Also followthe safety instructions of the hand-held transj
mitter.'
