▷The remote control used is detected when
the vehicle is unlocked and the stored pro‐
file is called up.▷Your personal settings will be recognized
and called up again even if the vehicle has
been used in the meantime by someone
else with another remote control.
The individual settings are stored for a maxi‐
mum of four remote controls. They are stored
for two remote controls if Comfort Access is in
use.
Personal Profile settingsThe following functions and settings can be
stored in a profile.

Direct the flow of air to the win‐
dows
, to the upper body area
, or to the knee area and foot‐
well
. Intermediate positions
are possible. In the 6 o'clock posi‐
tion, a small amount of air is also directed to‐
ward the windows to keep them from fogging
over.
Recirculated air mode If the air outside the car has an un‐
pleasant odor or contains pollu‐
tants, shut off the supply to the interior of the
car temporarily. The system then recirculates
the air currently within the vehicle.
The recirculated air mode can also be acti‐
vated/deactivated, refer to page 12, via a but‐
ton on the steering wheel.
Only use recirculated air mode for a lim‐
ited period
If condensation starts to form on the inside
window surfaces during operation in the recir‐
culated air mode, you should switch it off while
also increasing the air flow rate as required.
The recirculated air mode should not be used
continuously for lengthy periods; otherwise,
the quality of the air inside the car will gradually
deteriorate.◀
Air volume Press the corresponding button.
The higher the rate, the more ef‐
fective the heating or cooling will
be.
The air flow rate may be reduced or the blower
may be switched off entirely to save on battery
power.Seite 108ControlsClimate108

Microfilter
The microfilter removes dust and pollen from
the incoming air. The microfilter is changed byyour service center during routine mainte‐
nance work.

For almost all conditions, the AUTO program 7
offers the optimum air distribution and air flow
rate, refer to AUTO programs below. Select a
comfortable interior temperature only.
The following sections contain more detailed
information on the available setting options.
Most of these settings are stored for the re‐
mote control currently in use, Personal Profile
settings, refer to page 31.
Air distribution, manual
Depending on the selected setting, the air is
directed to the windshield, to the upper body
area, to the knee area and into the footwell.Adjusting air distribution manually
Press the button repeatedly until
the air distribution is set as re‐
quired. The corresponding LED lights up.
The manual air distribution is also switched on
when the AUTO program is deactivated.
Temperature Set the desired temperatures indi‐
vidually for the driver's and pas‐
senger sides.
The automatic climate control
achieves this temperature as quickly as possi‐
ble regardless of the season, using maximum
cooling or heating power if necessary, and
then maintains it.Seite 110ControlsClimate110

To give the automatic climate control enough
time to achieve the set temperature, do not
switch between different temperature settings
in quick succession.
Maximum heating power can be obtained with
the highest setting, regardless of the external
temperature.
The lowest setting effects continuous cooling.
Switching the cooling function on and
off
The cooling function cools and
dehumidifies the incoming air be‐
fore reheating it as required, ac‐ cording to the temperature set‐
ting. This function is only available
while the engine is running.
The cooling function helps to prevent conden‐
sation on the windows or to remove it quickly.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog over briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
Maximum cooling The air is cooled as quickly as
possible with the engine running.
The automatic climate control goes into recir‐
culated air mode at the lowest temperature. Air
flows at maximum rate from the vents for the
upper body area. You should therefore open
the vents for maximum cooling.
AUTO program
The AUTO program automatically adjusts the
air distribution to the windshield and side win‐
dows, toward the upper body area, and into the
footwell and knee area.
The air flow rate and air distribution, in addition
to your temperature specifications, will be
adapted to outside influences as a result ofseasonal changes, e.g., sunlight or window
condensation.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
Switching on/off Press the button.
Manual air distribution and air flow
rate are activated when the AUTO program is
deactivated.
AUTO program climate level
The climate levels can be used to vary the in‐
tensity when the AUTO program is switched
on. For example, air flow is adjusted automati‐
cally to optimize climate control.
When the AUTO program is
switched on, the climate level of
the AUTO program can be se‐
lected using the buttons for controlling the
manual air flow rate.
The selected climate level is displayed by an
LED.
Convertible programWhen the hardtop is open, the convertible pro‐
gram is activated as well. In the convertible
program, the automatic climate control is opti‐
mized for driving with the hardtop open. In ad‐
dition, the air flow rate is increased as vehicle
speed increases.
The effectiveness of the convertible program
can be enhanced considerably by installing the
wind deflector.
Adjusting air flow rate manually Press the left side of the button to
reduce air flow. Press the right
side of the button to increase it.
The air volume may be reduced automatically
to save battery power. The display remains the
same.Seite 111ClimateControls111
