OFF Switching the air conditioner on/off
The OFF button is used to switch the
air conditioner on and off. The air conditioner will also switch
on if you operate the blower control or press one of the buttons.
When the air conditioner is switched off, the supply of air from
outside the car is cut off.
AC Switching air cooling 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 (below
zero).
FRONT 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 defroster is switched off when the AUTO
button is pressed.
REAR Switching
the rear window heating on/off
The rear window heating operates only when the engine is running
and switches off automatically after a few minutes, depending on
the outside temperature.
To switch on the rear window heating permanently, press and hold

Adjusting
the seat heating*
When you press the button, the seat heating is switched on at level 3
(the highest level). The diodes indicate the temperature level.
To reduce the temperature, press the button again. To switch off
the seat heating, press the button repeatedly until all the diodes
have gone out.
The seat heating automatically switches from level 3 to level 2
after 10 minutes.
Air outlets
The thumbwheels can be used to open and close the air outlets in
the centre and on either side of the dashboard and rear centre console.
The lever in the centre of the outlets can be used to adjust the
direction of air flow.
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.
Caution!
To avoid damaging the heating elements of the seat heating, please do
not kneel on the seat or apply sharp pressure at a single point.
