Climate control functions in detail
Manual air distribution Turn the wheel to select the de‐
sired program or the desired in‐
termediate setting.▷ Windows.▷ Upper body region.▷ Footwell.▷ Windows, upper body region, and foot‐
well.
Defrosts windows and removes
condensation
Direct the air distribution toward windows, in‐
crease the air flow and temperature, and, if
needed, use the cooling function.
Air flow, manual Turn the ring to set the desired
air volume.
The higher the rate, the more ef‐
fective the heating or cooling will
be.
The air flow from the air conditioner may be re‐
duced automatically to save battery power.
Temperature Turn the ring to set the desired
temperature.
Cooling function The car's interior can only be cooled with the
engine running.
Press button.
The air will be cooled and dehumidified and,
depending on the temperature setting,
warmed again.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog up briefly when the engine is started.
The air conditioner produces condensation wa‐
ter, refer to page 154, that will exit from below
the car.
Recirculated-air mode You may respond to unpleasant odors or pollu‐
tants in the immediate environment by tempo‐
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.
Press button repeatedly to select an
operating mode:▷LED off: outside air flows in continuously.▷LED on, recirculated-air mode: the supply
of outside air into the vehicle is perma‐
nently blocked.
Recirculated air mode switches off automati‐
cally at low external temperatures after a cer‐
tain amount of time in order to avoid window
fogging.
If the windows fog over, reel off recirculated-air
mode and increase the air flow, if needed.
Sufficient ventilation
When remaining in the vehicle for an ex‐
tended period of time, ensure sufficient exter‐
nal ventilation. Do not continuously use recircu‐
lated-air mode; otherwise the air quality in the
interior continuously worsens. ◀
Rear window defroster Press button.
The rear window defroster switches off

The Coasting driving condition is enabled under
certain conditions.
Under certain conditions the engine is auto‐
matically decoupled from the transmission in
selector lever position D. The vehicle continues
traveling with the engine idling to reduce fuel
consumption. Selector lever position D remains
engaged. An indicator provides information
about the distance traveled in Coasting mode.
In addition, context-sensitive instructions are
displayed to assist with an optimized fuel con‐
sumption driving style.
The achieved extended range is displayed in
the instrument cluster.
At a glance The system includes the following MINIMAL
functions and displays:▷GREEN bonus range, refer to page 162.▷GREEN tips driving instruction, refer to

ture, or adjusting the rate of heating or cooling
of the car's interior fuel consumption can be
economized.
The outputs of the seat heater and the exterior
Additionally heat output to seats and exterior
mirror is reduced.
Exterior mirror heat is available when outside
temperatures are very low.
GREEN potential
The percentage of potential savings that can be
achieved with the current configuration is dis‐
played.
