Notes on using automatic climate
control
Climate control system
Below, you can find a number of notes and rec-
ommendations to help you use climate control
optimally.
RActivate climate control using the Ã
rocker switch. The indicator lamp in the Ã
rocker switch lights up.
RSet the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
ROnly use the "Windshield defrosting" function
briefly until the windshield is clear again.
ROnly use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g. if
there are unpleasant outside odors or when in
a tunnel. The windows could otherwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in
air-recirculation mode.
RUse the residual heat function if you want to
heat or ventilate the vehicle interior when the
ignition is switched off. The residual heat
function can only be activated or deactivated
with the ignition switched off. The residual
heat function is switched off when the ignition
is switched on.
If you are controlling the rear-compartment cli-
mate control using the front control panel, note
the following:
RIf you set rear-compartment climate control
using the front control panel, the Ysym-
bol appears in the rear-compartment control
panel display.
RIf the rear-compartment climate control is set
using the front control panel, it cannot be set
at the same time using the rear control panel. After completing the settings for the rear-
compartment climate control using the front
control panel, wait five seconds. You will then
be able to control the rear climate control
using the rear control panel.
RAfter selecting the rear compartment set-
tings, the front climate control can be con-
trolled automatically again via the multimedia
system after five seconds.
Alternatively, you can select "Cancel rear
compartment" in the multimedia system air-
conditioning function bar.
ECO start/stop function
During automatic engine switch-off, the climate
control system only operates at a reduced capa-
city. If you require the full climate control output,
you can switch off the ECO start/stop function
