With the electrical range control the headlight settings can be
matched exactly to the load condition of vehicle. This prevents
oncoming traffic from being dazzled more than is unavoidable. Atthe same time the correct headlight beam setting provides the
best possible visibility for the driver.
The headlights can only be regulated with the dipped headlights
switched on.
To lower the beams, turn knurled discfrom the basicposition (0)

By pressing the key, the system directs the air towards the
grid of the windshield and the side windows (
1, 2).
When pressing this key, the system understands that the
windshield is fogged up/frozen and, therefore, it becomes a
priority to execute said operation. It will deactivate the air
recirculation mode, should it be activated, it will increase fan
speed and deactivate ECON mode, should it be activated.

By pressing this key the air conditioning compressor is
disconnected.
The word "ECON" is displayed.
When the compressor is deactivated, the fuel consumption
decreases.
When this function is activated, the Climatronic manages the
interior temperature regulation without the air conditioner.
If the selected temperature is lower than the outside temperature,
the selected temperature will not be reached.
Depending on the exterior climate conditions (low outside
temperature and low humidity), it is not necessary to switch on the
air conditioner since you can activate the ECON mode.
In vehicles fitted with additional heating*, this function is
deactivated.R Re

By pressing this key, the air recirculation mode is activated.
With this function the entry of air from outside is closed. If a fan
speed has been selected, the air is drawn from the interior instead
of from outside, thus allowing for the air to recirculate. This way,
the entry of bad odors, smoke and dust can be momentarily
avoided.
It is not advisable to use recirculation for an extended period of
time since the air in the cabin is not replaced and would, therefore,
become very stale and dry.
The recirculation symbol is displayed if this mode is activated.

together with air outlets5(feet exit).K
Vents
Depending on the selected key, the air will flow through different
vents.
Furthermore, vents
3and 4can be closed or opened individually
and air flow can be guided as needed.
Closed vent: control in vertical position.
Open vent: control in horizontal position.
You can guide the air outlet as needed by swiveling the vent with
the control.

General information
• High humidity and outside temperatures may cause
condensation and the evaporator to drip. This water is channeled
outside which can lead to the formation of puddles beneath your
vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate any leak.
• If you want the ventilation to work correctly, you should remove
the ice, the snow or the leaves which block the air inlet to thepassenger compartment situated in the vent below the windscreen
(on the passenger’s side, at the exterior).
• If the outside temperature is low, the compressor will be
automatically disconnected. With the AUTO key it will also not be
able to be connected.
• Stale air is channeled outside through the boot area. For this
reason, do not obstruct the air passage from the passenger cabin
to the rear part by placing clothing on the rear shelf.
