Notes on using 3-zone automatic climate control
The following contains notes and recommendations on optimum operation of automatic climate control.
- Activate climate control using the
and
buttons. The indicator lamps in the
and
buttons light up.
- In automatic mode, you can also use the
button to set a climate mode
(FOCUS/MEDIUM/DIFFUSE). The
MEDIUM level is recommended.
- Set the temperature to 72 °F (22
°C).
- Only use the "defrosting" function briefly
until the windshield is clear again.
- Only use "air-recirculation" mode briefly,
e.g. if there are unpleasant outside odors
or when in a tunnel. The windows could
otherwise fog up as, in air-recirculation
mode, no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle.
- Use the ZONE function to adopt the
temperature settings on the driver's side
for the front-passenger side and the rear
compartment as well. The indicator lamp in
the 
button goes out.
- Use the residual heat function if you want
to heat or ventilate the vehicle interior
when the ignition is switched off. The
"residual heat" function can only be
activated or deactivated with the ignition
switched off.
