Notes on using climate control
Automatic climate control
The following contains notes and
recommendations on optimum use of the
automatic climate control.
RSwitch on the air-conditioning system by
turning control knobclockwise to the
desired position (except position0).
RSet the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
RRecommendation for preventing
fogged up windows with low outside
temperatures or rain:switchon for
the air distribution and switchand
off if possible (Ypage 128).
In air-recirculation mode, switchoff
(Ypage 131).
Set airflow controlto a setting between
3and6(Ypage 128).
RRecommendation for rapid cooling or
heating of the vehicle interior:briefly set
airflow controlto a setting between3
and6(Ypage 128).
RRecommendation for a constant
vehicle interior temperature:set airflow
controlto a setting between1and3
(Ypage 128).
RRecommendation for air distribution in
the winter:setand
(Ypage 128).
Recommendation for air distribution in
the summer:setorand
(Ypage 128).
ROnly use the "Windshield defrosting"
function briefly until the windshield is clear
again.
ROnly use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
if there are unpleasant outside odors or
when in a tunnel. The windows could
otherwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn
into the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.
RVehicles with COMAND:if you change the
settings of the climate control system, the
climate status display appears for three
seconds at the bottom of the screen in the
COMAND display. See also the separate
COMAND operating instructions. You will

Setting climate control to automatic
Points to observe before use
The automatic function is only available in
conjunction with dual-zone automatic climate
control.
In automatic mode, the set temperature is
maintained automatically at a constant level.
The system automatically regulates the
temperature of the dispensed air, the airflow
and the air distribution.
The automatic mode functions optimally
when the "Cooling with air dehumidification"
function is activated. If necessary, cooling
with air dehumidification can be deactivated.
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-
dehumidification" function, the air inside the
vehicle will not be cooled. The air inside the

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the air
vents. This could result in burns or frostbite in
the immediate vicinity of the air vents. There
is a risk of injury.
Make sure that all vehicle occupants always
maintain a sufficient distance to the air
outlets. If necessary, redirect the airflow to
another area of the vehicle interior.
In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior,
please observe the following notes:
Rkeep the air inlet between the windshield
and the hood free of blockages, such as ice,
snow or leaves.
Rnever cover the air vents or air intake grilles
in the vehicle interior.
iYou can move the adjusters for the air
vents vertically or horizontally to set the
direction of the airflow.
iFor optimal climate control in the vehicle,
open the air vents completely and set the
adjusters to the central position.
Setting the center air vents
XTo open the center air vent:turn the
adjuster in one of center air vents
