Heated seats ß 3 38, Heated
steering wheel * 3 71.
Cooling n
Press button n to switch on cooling.
Activation is indicated by the LED in
the button. Cooling is only functional
when the engine is running and
climate control fan is switched on.
Press button n again to switch off
cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) as soon as the
outside temperature is slightly above
the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from
under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. Activated cooling
might inhibit Autostops.
Notice
If the climate control is set to
maximal cooling while the ambient
temperature is high, an Autostop
may be inhibited until the requested
temperature in the passenger
compartment has been reached.
If the climate control is set to
maximal cooling while the engine is
in an Autostop, the engine may
restart automatically.
