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 position, a
small amount of air is also directed toward 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 activated/
deactivated, refer to page 12, via a button on the
steering wheel.
Only use recirculated air mode for a limited
period
If condensation starts to form on the inside win‐
dow surfaces during operation in the recircu‐
lated air mode, you should switch it off while also
increasing the air flow rate as required. The re‐
circulated air mode should not be used contin‐
uously for lengthy periods; otherwise, the qual‐
ity 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.
Switching the system on/off Press the left button at the mini‐
mum fan speed. The blower and air
conditioner are completely
switched off and the air supply is cut off.Seite 90ControlsClimate90

To switch on the air conditioner, set the desired
air flow rate.
Switching cooling function on/off The cooling function cools and de‐
humidifies the incoming air before
reheating it as required, according to the tem‐
perature setting. This function is only available

The cooling function helps to prevent conden‐
sation on the windows or to remove it quickly.

matically after a certain time or
when the hardtop is opened.

recirculated air mode
Switch on the desired operating
mode by pressing this button re‐
peatedly:
▷LED off: outside air flows in
continuously.▷Left LED on, automatic recirculated air con‐
trol: a sensor detects pollutants in the out‐
side air. If necessary, the system blocks the
supply of outside air and recirculates the in‐
side air. As soon as the concentration of pol‐
lutants in the outside air has decreased suf‐
ficiently, the system automatically switches
back to outside air supply.▷Right LED on, recirculated air mode: the
supply of outside air into the vehicle is per‐
manently blocked. The system then recir‐
culates the air currently within the vehicle.
Only use recirculated air mode for a limited
period
If condensation starts to form on the inside win‐
dow surfaces during operation in the recircu‐
lated air mode, you should switch it off while also
increasing the air flow rate as required. The re‐
circulated air mode should not be used for an
extended period of time, as the air quality inside
the vehicle deteriorates steadily.◀
