Vehicle equipment
i This manual describes all the standard
and optional equipment of your vehicle
available at the time of publicatio nofthe
Owner's Manual. Country-specific differen-
ces are possible. Please note that your
vehicle may not be equipped with all fea-
tures described. This also applies to safety-
relevant systems and functions. Overview of climate control systems
Important safety notes
G
Risk of accident
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. Otherwise, the windows
could mist up. This may obstruct your view of
the traffic situation and, as a result, you may
cause an accident.
THERMATIC 2-zone automatic climate con-
trol/THERMOTRONIC luxury 3-zone auto-
matic climate control controls the tempera-
ture and the humidity of the vehicle interior
and filters out undesirable substances from
the air.
THERMATIC 2-zone automatic climate con-
trol/THERMOTRONIC luxury 3-zone auto-
matic climate control is only operational
when the engine is running 24
.O ptimum oper-
ation is only achieved if you drive with the side
windows and sliding sunroof/panorama slid-
ing sunroof closed.
i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the con-
venience opening feature (Y page 79). This
will speed up the cooling process and the
desired vehicle interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.
i The integrated filter can filter out most
particles of dust and completely filters out
pollen. Aclogged filter reduces the amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior
.For
this reason, you should always observe the
interval for replacing the filter, which is
specified in the Service Booklet .As it
depends on environmental conditions, e.g.
heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
