Climate control

CONTROLS

Depending on the weather, the windshield and

the side windows may fog up briefly when

drive-ready state is switched on.

Air recirculation mode

Principle

When using the cooling mode, condensation

that will exit below the vehicle.

You may react to unpleasant odors or pollu-

tants in the immediate environment by tempo-

rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The

system then recirculates the interior air.

Maximum cooling

In automatic recirculated-air control mode, out-

side air is fed in or the interior air recirculated

depending on the outside air quality.

Principle

Maximum cooling lets you cool the vehicle in-

terior quickly and effectively.

When the air recirculation is turned off, outside

air is directed into the interior.

The lowest temperature and the maximum air

flow are set automatically.

General information

If there is window condensation, turn off the air

recirculation.

The function is automatically activated in the

rear when the SYNC program is turned on.

The interior filter cleans the incoming fresh

air or the circulated interior air in recirculation

mode.

Functional requirement

The following functional requirements must be

met for maximum cooling:

Principle

With the defrost function, ice and condensation

are quickly removed from the windshield and

the front side windows.

SYNC program

The air flow and air temperature are automati-

cally optimized for the removal of ice and con-

densation.

Principle

If SYNC program is activated, the settings on

the driver's side are transfered to the passeng-

er's side and to the rear.

The air distribution is directed toward the

windshield and front side windows.

Safety information

DANGER

Activating the departure time

If the exhaust pipe is blocked or ventilation

is insufficient, harmful exhaust gases can pol-

lute the area in and around the vehicle or

penetrate the vehicle. The exhaust gases

contain pollutants which are colorless and

odorless. In enclosed areas or areas with in-

sufficient ventilation, exhaust gases can also

accumulate outside of the vehicle. There is a

danger to life. Keep the exhaust pipe free and

ensure sufficient ventilation. Do not switch on

pre-conditioning in enclosed areas or areas

with insufficient ventilation, e.g. in enclosed

garages.
