Temperature Turn the wheel to set the de‐sired temperature.
The automatic climate control achieves this
temperature as quickly as possible, if neces‐
sary with the maximum cooling or heating ca‐
pacity, and then keeps it constant.
Avoid rapidly switching between different tem‐
perature settings. Otherwise, the automatic cli‐
mate control will not have sufficient time to ad‐
just the set temperature.
AUTO program Press the button.
Air volume, air distribution, and tem‐
perature are controlled automatically.
Depending on the selected temperature, the
AUTO intensity, and outside influences, the air
is directed to the windshield, side windows, upper body, and into the footwell.
The cooling function, refer to page 162, is
switched on automatically with the AUTO pro‐
gram.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con‐
trols the program so as to prevent window
condensation as much as possible.
Intensity of the AUTO program
With the AUTO program switched on, auto‐
matic control of the air flow and air distribution
can be adjusted.
Press the left or right side of the but‐
ton: decrease or increase the inten‐
sity.
The selected intensity is shown on the display
of the automatic climate control.
Air flow, manual To be able to manually adjust the air flow,
switch off the AUTO program first.
Press the left or right side of the but‐
ton: decrease or increase air flow.
The selected air flow is shown on the display of

perature, maximum air flow and air circulation
mode.
Air flows out of the vents for the upper body
region. The vents need to be open for this.
Air is cooled as quickly as possible:▷At an external temperature of approx.
32 ℉/0 ℃.▷When the engine is running.
The air volume can be adjusted when the pro‐
gram is active.
Automatic recirculated-air control/recirculated-air mode
You can respond to unpleasant odors or pollu‐
