Warm and cold Climate controls
Controls
W arm and cold 7 5
The air conditioning automatically maintains the selected temperature in the vehicleinterior
throughout each season .
Fig. 87 Climate contro ls
We recommend the following sett ing :
• Rotate the knob
Q fig . 87 @ to the right to
switch on the air conditioning .
• Set the temperature to 72 °F (22 °() .
• Press the
!AUTO ! Q fig. 87 button .
Using the previously recommended setting is
the quickest way to achieve a comfortable cli
mate in the vehicle . Th is setting should there
fore only be changed when persona l comfort
l eve ls o r certain circumstances requ ire it .
The climate controls are a combination of au
tomatic heating and ventilation systems and a
cooling system which dehum idifies and coo ls
the air inside the vehicle .
The climate controls automatically maintain a temperature once it has been set. The tempe rat ure of the air from the v ents, fan speed
(air vo lume) and ai r distribu tion are also auto
mat ica lly adjusted . The system a lso takes into
account strong sunshine so that manua l ad
justment is not necessary . So in almost all
cases,
a utomatic mode offers the best cond i
tions for the comfort of the occupants at all
times of the year
Q page 78 .
Plea se not e:
In cooling mode, relative humidity in the inte
rior is reduced . This prevents the w indows
from fogg ing up .
When relative hum idity and temperatures
outside are high,
condensate can drip from
the a ir cond ition ing evaporator and form a
poo l of water under the veh icle. This is normal
and not an ind ication of a leak!
When outside temperatures are low, the fan
does not switch to a higher speed until the coolant has reached an adequate tempera
tu re , with the exception of the defrost set
t ing.
When accelerating at wide-open throttle, the
air condit ioning compressor is temporar ily
switched off to maintain full engine power.
In order to ensure engine cooling under ex
treme engine loads, the compressor is switch
ed off if coolant temperatures cl imb too high .
Funct ions are set by turn ing the rotary knob
or switched o n and off by tapping the buttons.

Using the climate controls economically
E conomical use of the climate controls helps
to save fuel.
When climate control is wo rking in cooling
