B To switch the seat heating on the left-hand side on/off Information on using THERMATIC
automatic climate control
The following contains notes and recommenda-
tions on optimum use of THERMATIC automatic climate control.
R Activate climate control using the Ãand
Á buttons. The indicator lamps in the
à andÁ buttons light up.
R Set the temperature to 22 †.
R Only use the "Windscreen demisting" function
briefly until the windscreen is clear again.
R Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g. if
there are unpleasant outside odours or when
in a tunnel. The windows could otherwise mist
up as no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.
R Use the ZONE function to adopt the temper-
ature settings on the driver's side for the
front-passenger side as well. The indicator
lamp above the ábutton goes out.
R If you change the settings of the climate con-
trol system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds at
the bottom of the screen in the multimedia
system display. You will see the current set-
tings of the various climate control functions.
During automatic engine switch-off, the climate
control only operates at a reduced capacity. If
you require the full climate control output, you
can switch off the ECO start/stop function by
pressing the ECO button (Y page 151).128
