dues may be the reason for this .Clean the
windshield using washer fluid after washing

Overview of climat econtrol systems
Important safetyn otes
Observethe recommende dsettings on the fol-
lowing pages. Otherwise, the windows could fog
up.
To preventt he windows from foggingu p:
Ronly switchoff climatec ontrolbriefly
Ronly switc honair-recirculation mode briefly
Rfor vehicles with TEMPMATIC air-conditioning
or automatic climatec ontrol, switchonthe
"Cooling with air dehumidification "function.
Rfor vehicles with automatic climatec ontrol,
switc hont he windshield defrostin gfunction
briefly, if required
Climate contro lregulates the temperature and
the humidity in the vehicle interior and filters
undesirable substances from the air.
Climate contro lisonly operational when the
engin eisrunning. The system only functions
optimally when the side windows are closed.
Ventilate the vehicle for abrief period during
warm weather. In order to cool the vehicle more
rapidly, switc hclimat econtro ltoair-recircula-
tion mode briefly. This will speed up the cooling
process and the desired interior temperature
will be reached more quickly.
The integrated filter can filter out most particles
of dust and completely filter sout pollen. In vehi-
cles with automatic climatec ontrol, gaseous
pollutant sand odors will also be reduced. A
clogged filter reduces the airflow int othe vehi-
cle interior. For this reason,y ou should always
observet he interval for replacin gthe filter,
which is specified in the Maintenance Booklet.
As the interval between changes depends on
environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pollu- tion
,the interval may be shorter than stated in
the Maintenance Booklet.
