the series. It also describes features and

functions that are not necessarily available

in your vehicle, e.g., due to the selected op-

tions or country versions. This also applies

to safety-related functions and systems.

When using these functions and systems,

the applicable laws and regulations must be

observed.

Maximum cooling

Concept

Adjusting

The system is set to the lowest temperature,

maximum air flow and recirculated-air

mode.

Turn the wheel to set the de-

sired temperature.

General information

The function is available with external tem-

peratures above approx. 32 ℉/0 ℃ and with

the drive-ready state switched on.

Do not rapidly switch between different

temperature settings. The automatic climate

control will not have sufficient time to ad-

just the set temperature.

Air flows out of the vents to the upper body

region. The vents need to be open for this.

The air flow can be adjusted with the pro-

gram active.

Air conditioning

Concept

Switching on/off

The air in the car's interior will be cooled

and dehumidified and, depending on the

temperature setting, warmed again.

Press the button.

The LED is illuminated with the

system switched on.

The car's interior can be cooled with acti-

vated drive-ready or standby state.

AUTO program

Concept

Switching on/off

Press the button.

The AUTO program cools, ventilates or

heats the car's interior automatically.

The LED is illuminated with air con-

ditioning switched on.

The air distribution and temperature are

controlled automatically depending on the

temperature in the car's interior and the de-

sired temperature setting including the se-

lected intensity of the air flow.

Depending on the weather, the windshield

may fog up briefly when drive-ready state is

switched on.

The cooling function is switched on auto-

matically with the AUTO program.

Switching on/off

When using the automatic climate control,

condensation water, refer to page 210, de-

velops and drains underneath the vehicle.

This is normal.

Press the button.

The LED is illuminated with the

AUTO program switched on.

Depending on the selected temperature,

AUTO intensity and outside influences, the

air is directed to the windshield, side win-

dows, upper body, and into the floor area.

Climate control

CONTROLS

Point the side vents toward the side win-

dows.

With constant recirculated-air mode, the air

quality in the car's interior deteriorates and

window fogging increases.

The following features are switched on au-

tomatically with the AUTO program:

If the windows fog over, switch off recircu-

lated-air mode and increase the air flow, if

needed.

–

The air conditioning, refer to page 182.

To switch off the program: press the button

again or manually adjust the air distribu-

tion.

Adjusting the air flow manually

Concept

Intensity

The air flow for climate control can be ad-

justed manually.

With the AUTO program activated, the au-

tomatic intensity control can be changed.

Turn the ring to set the de-

sired intensity from soft to in-

tensive.

General information

To adjust the air flow manually switch off

AUTO program first.

Operation

The set intensity is displayed via the posi-

tion of the illuminated LED segment.

Turn the ring to set the de-

sired air flow.

Recirculated-air mode

Concept

The manually adjusted air flow is displayed

via illuminated LED segments.

You may react to unpleasant odors or pollu-

tants in the immediate environment by tem-

porarily suspending the supply of outside

air. The system then recirculates the air

flow within the vehicle.

The air flow of the automatic climate con-

trol may be reduced automatically to save

battery power.

Adjusting the air distribution

manually

Operation

Press the button:

The LED is illuminated when recir-

culated-air mode is switched on. The supply

of outside air is shut off.

Concept

The air distribution for climate control can

be adjusted manually.

When recirculated-air mode is switched off,

fresh air is directed into the vehicle's inte-

rior.

Operation

Press the button repeatedly to se-

lect a program:

To prevent window condensation, recircu-

lated-air mode switches off automatically af-

ter a certain amount of time, depending on

the external temperature.

To defrost windows and remove

condensation

The air flow is directly pointed onto the

person. The air flow heats or cools no-

ticeably, depending on the adjusted tem-

perature.

Concept

Ice and condensation are quickly removed

from the windshield and the front side win-

dows.

–

Indirect ventilation:

If the vents are fully or partly closed, the

air is directly routed into the car's inte-

rior.

Switching on/off

Press the button.

Front ventilation

The LED is illuminated with the

system switched on.

The air flow can be adjusted with the pro-

gram active.

If there is window condensation, switch on

the air conditioning too.

Rear window defroster

Press the button. The LED lights up.

–

Turn knob for continuous opening and

closing of the vents.

The rear window defroster switches

off automatically after a certain period of

time.

Swivel the vents to alter the direction of

the vent flow, arrows.

When GREEN Mode is activated, the heat-

ing output is reduced.

Stationary climate control

Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter

In external and recirculated-air mode, the

microfilter/activated charcoal filter filters

dust, pollen, and gaseous pollutants out of

the air.

Concept

Stationary climate control cools or heats the

car's interior prior to departure to a com-

fortable temperature.

Have this filter changed during vehicle

maintenance, refer to page 248.

The system automatically cools, vents, or

heats depending on the internal and exter-

nal temperature. Snow and ice may be re-

moved more easily.

ary climate control is available again.

General information

The stationary climate control can be

switched on and off directly or via a preset

departure time:

–

The vents are open to allow air to flow

out.

–

Direct operation, refer to page 185.

Switching on/off directly

Concept

The system can be switched on or off di-

rectly.

Preselected departure times, refer to

page 185.

The air automatically exits through the

vents to the windshield, the side windows,

the upper body region and into the floor

area.

The system switches off automatically after

a certain period of time.

The system switches off automatically after

a certain period of time.

Via the Central Information Display

(CID)

The system can be switched on or off via

the Central Information Display (CID).

If stationary climate control is used during

the charging process, less air conditioning

capacity will be required while driving. This

optimizes the range.

Climate control for departure time

Concept

–

Direct operation or departure time pre-

selected: depends on internal, external,

and set desired temperature.

Different departure times can be set to en-

sure a comfortable interior temperature in

the vehicle at the time of departure.

Make sure that the vehicle's date and

time are set correctly.

The activation time is automatically deter-

mined based on the temperature.

To ensure the minimum range of the ve-

hicle, the stationary climate control may

be automatically switched off, for in-

stance after repeated activation or due

to an insufficient state of charge of the

high-voltage battery. After the station-

ary climate control is switched off due

to an insufficient state of charge, charge

the high-voltage battery and switch the

The system promptly switches on before the
