AUTO Switching automatic mode on/off
The automatic mode maintains a constant temperature inside the
vehicle. Air temperature, output and distribution are regulated
automatically.
Switching A/C cooling mode on/off
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

The rotary control can be used to adjust the temperature as
required. The temperature can be adjusted between about +16 °C
(+60 °F) and +28 °C (+84 °F). In the two extreme settings the
air conditioner operates continuously with maximum cooling or
heating output, and the temperature is not regulated automatically.

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.
Switching
the defroster on/off
The windscreen and side windows are defrosted or demisted as
quickly as possible. The air output is increased to maximum
and most of the air comes out of the outlets below the windscreen.
The air recirculation mode is deactivated. The temperature should
be set to 22 °C or higher. The temperature is regulated automatically.
The defroster is switched off when the AUTO
button is pressed.
For reasons of safety you should not leave the air recirculation
switched on for too long. This mode prevents fresh air from entering
the vehicle, so the windows can mist over if the air cooling is
switched off. Bad visibility can cause an accident.
For the sake of the environment
The automatic air conditioner runs in a particularly economical
mode when the efficiency setting is selected (Link).
