The air conditioning improves the level of
comfort when driving at high outside
temperatures by cooling and dehumidifying
the air.Nearly all dust particles, pollutants, are
filtered out by an integrated particle filter
before outside air enters the passenger com

partment through the air distribution system.
It also operates when the air conditioning is
switched off and you have switched on the
blower.
The air conditioning only works when the
engine is running and the blower is switched
on. Maximum effectiveness is achieved if you
drive with the windows closed.
i
In warmer weather, ventilate the passen

ger compartment for a short period of time
before utilizing the air conditioning.

The air condition will be suspended tem

porarily:
• if the engine speed is too low
•when driving off
The air condition is switched off:
• at a coolant temperature of more
than 239°F (115°C)
• at outside temperatures below 38°F (3°C)
G
Warning!
Follow the recommended settings for
heating and cooling given on the following
pages. Otherwise the windows could fog
up, impairing visibility and endangering
you and others.

Setting the temperaturei
You should raise or lower the temperature
setting in small increments, preferably
starting at 70°F (21°C).
> Increasing or decreasing: Push tempera

To achieve a lower temperature setting
more quickly, activate the air recirculation
mode (

page 153).
Adjusting air distributionYou can adjust the air distribution using air
distribution control
5.
The following symbols are found on the air
distribution control:>Turn air distribution control
5 to the
desired symbol.
The air distribution is controlled depending
on the position of the air distribution con

trol.
i
You can also turn the air distribution
control to a position between two symbols.

Do not turn the air distribution control
permanently to positionP. The air condi

tion switches on independently of other set

tings. The indicator lamp on switch

does not come on.
The vehicle’s fuel consumption increases and
the driving performance may be influenced.

Air recirculation modeSwitch to air recirculation mode to prevent
unpleasant odors from entering the vehicle
from the outside (e.g. before driving through
a tunnel). This setting cuts off the intake of
outside air and recirculates the air in the
passenger compartment.> Switching on: Press switch

The indicator lamp on the switch comes on.
>Switching off: Press switch4 once more.

DefrostingThe best defrosting of windows is achieved if
the ice is completely removed from the win

dows manually with an ice scraper before
starting the engine.

Warning!
When the recirculation mode is switched
on, windows can fog on the inside immedi

ately. Fogged windows impair visibility,
endangering you and others. If the win

dows begin to fog on the inside, switching
off the air recirculation mode immediate

ly should clear interior window fogging. If
interior window fogging persists, make
sure the air conditioning is switched on,
turn the air distribution control to
positionP (

page 150) and increase
air volume
1.

Warning!
Never drive with iced up or fogged
windows. Visibility will be significantly
impaired. Impaired visibility could en

danger yourself and others. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic
conditions, thereby causing an accident
