On vehicles fitted with air conditioning, the storage compartment is equipped with a lockable inlet for thermally treated (warmed-up) air. At open air supply, air flows into the storage with a temperature which is as high as the one out of the air outlet nozzles, depending on temperature setting. The air inlet in the storage compar
tment is connected to position
through
adjustment of the control dial for air
distribution. This po
sition causes the
maximum amount of air to flow into the storage compartment (depending on the rotary regulator position for the fan). You can use the storage compartment, for
example, to temper drinks cans, etc.
If you do not use the air inlet in the storage compartment, the end cover should always be kept closed.

page 119, “Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)*”.
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must
be free of ice, snow or leaves in order
to ensure that the heating and ventilation systems operate properly. The heating effect is dependent upon th
e coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature. The blower should aways be on to
prevent the windows from misting up.
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci- dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
Note
•
The whole heat output will be needed
to unfrost the windscreen and side
windows. No warm air will be fed to the footwell. This can lead to restriction of the heating comfort.

Switching recirculated air mode off – Press again the button - the warning light in the button goes out.The recirculated air mode is switched off au
tomatically if the air distribution control
is in position
⇒page 109, fig. 139
. You can also switch recirculated air mode
on again from this setting by repeatedly pressing button .
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale” air may result in fatigue in
the driver and occupants, divert your
attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci- dent increases. Switch recirculated
air mode off as so
on as the windows
begin misting up.
Climatic* (semi-automatic air conditioning system)Description The Climatic is a combined cooling and heating system. It makes it possible to optimally control the air temperature at any season of the year.Description of the Climatic It is important for your safety and for your driving comfort that the Climatic is oper- ating properly. The cooling only operates if button
⇒page 112, fig. 140
is pressed, and the
following conditions are met:•
engine running,
•
outside temperature above approx. +2°C and
•
blower switch switched
on (positions 1 to 4).
If the cooling system is switched on, th
e temperature and air humidity drops in the
vehicle. The wellbeing of the occupants of
the car is enhanced as a result of this
particularly at high outside temperatur
es and a high air humidity. The system
prevents the windows misting up during the cold season of the year. The heating effect is dependent upon th
e coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature. It is possible to briefly activate recirc
ulated air mode in order to enhance the
cooling effect
