Applies to vehicles: with heating/ventilation system or manual air
conditioner

Link and
seat heating

are described in separate sections of this manual.
Switching A/C cooling mode on/off
The air cooling system only works when the blower is switched
on. When the air cooling is switched off, the air is neither
cooled nor dehumidified. The windows may mist up as a result.
The air cooling is switched off automatically at low outside
temperatures.
Switching
air recirculation on/off
In air recirculation mode, the air from the interior of the
vehicle is filtered and recirculated. This setting prevents
fumes etc. from entering the interior. We recommend switching
on the air recirculation mode when driving through a tunnel
or in traffic queues
WARNING!.
If the air recirculation mode is already activated when you
start the engine, it will be deactivated automatically after
about 20 minutes.
The air recirculation mode is switched off when the control
is in the defrost position
.
Adjusting
the blower speed
You can adjust the blower speed as required using the rotary
control. You should leave the blower on at a low setting to
prevent the windows from misting up.
Adjusting air distribution and air outlets
The rotary control with symbols
,
,
and
is used
to adjust the air distribution.
At the
setting,
the windscreen and side windows are defrosted or demisted as
quickly as possible. The air recirculation is switched off,
but can be switched on again manually by pressing the
button.
You can regulate the air flow and control the direction of the
air emerging from the round outlets in the dashboard by turning
the adjuster knob and moving the grille.
