Observations
The temperature for the passenger (rear) and driver’s (front)
compartment can be set independently of each other using this
equipment. The maximum difference in temperature can, however,
only be 3 °C.With the h he

refrigeration systems, depending on the version of Climatronic.

With this setting a pleasant climate in the vehicle is reached most
quickly.
This setting should therefore only be altered when required for
personal comfort.

Using the system
When ignition has been switched on the system normally works in
the automaticmode. Displays1, 2, 3, 7, 8and 9appear.
The Climatronicmaintains the selected vehicle interior temperature
fully automatically.
To do this, the temperature of the air flow as well as the blower
speed (air volume) and air distribution are altered automatically.
The system also takes account of intense sunlight. This eliminates
the need for a manual re-adjustment.
If the settings deviated from Automaticoperation before the
ignition is switched off the selected functions are permanently
stored. Only the function “air recirculation” is cancelled after about
20 minutes.

Partial deviation from Automatic mode
In nearly all cases the Automatic mode offers the best conditions
for the comfort of the vehicle occupants all the year round.
In isolated cases however it can be necessary to move away form
certain functions of the automatic mode by pressing various
buttons. The Climatronicstill works automatically.
The blower speed and thus the air volume at the front can be
increased or reduced with buttons
13and 14. This is shown by a
change in the number of lines in display position 1.
• By pressing button
11
– the ECON operation is switched off
– the air recirculation mode is switched off
– the windscreen and side windows can be defrosted or kept free
of misting (direct vents
4onto side windows)
– the dehumidifying and defrosting effect for the windscreen can
be increased if, for example persons with damp clothing are picked
up shortly after moving off.

for the front is selected by pressing button
12.
The symbol5appears in the display.
The air recirculation function prevents strong outside smells
entering the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnelor
standing in a trafficjam.Air recirculation can also be selected if the vehicle is to be heated
or cooled quickly. In this mode, air is drawn in from the vehicle
interior and heated or cooled.
Smoking should be avoided when air recirculation is selected, as
the smoke drawn in from the vehicle interior deposits on the
evaporator of the Climatronic. This leads to permanent odours
when the Climatronicis in operation. These can only be eliminated
by exchanging the evaporator, which is time-consuming and
expensive.
• With buttons
15and 16the air flow can be to the upper part of
the body or into the footwell.
• The combination of buttons
11and 16can be used to direct the
air flow both to the windscreen and into the footwell.

Driving a car with a manual gearbox
Only engage reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary. When the
engine is running, depress the clutch fully and wait a few seconds
before moving the gear lever. This will prevent grating noises. To
engage reverse gear, pull the safety ring A up slightly and guide
the gear stick to the right and to the rear.
When reverse gear is engaged with ignition on, the reversing lights
come on.N No

te
e
When driving you should not rest your hand on the gear lever. The pressure
of your hand is transmitted to the selector forks in the gearbox and can
cause premature wear on the forks.
