General notes
Economical operation of the air conditioner will help to
save fuel.
You can change the basic settings for the air conditioner
on the MMI* or on the sound system control console.
When the air conditioner is operating in the cooling mode it
reduces engine power and increases fuel consumption. To
ensure that the cooling mode is activated only when really
necessary, please note the following points:
– Switch off the cooling mode by pressing the AC button
(LED off) if you wish to save fuel.
– You should also switch off the cooling mode by pressing
the AC button (LED off) if you open the windows or the
tilting panorama roof* while driving.
