Heating
The comfort and general well-being of the
vehicle occupants are to a large extent
dependent on a suitable ventilation and
heating setting.
The amount of heat is dependent on the
coolant temperature and is thus not fully
attained until the engine is warm.
For rapid warming of the passenger
compartment:
To achieve stratification of temperature
with a pleasant "coolhead and warm feet"
effect, set the rotary air distribution
switch to K, J or L, set temperature
rotary knobto any position (in centre range
with temperature stratification effect).
z Turn the temperature switch clockwise as
far as it will go.
z Set the fan to speed 3.
z Set air distribution switch to desired
position, preferably position J,
see page 120.
Vehicles with Quickheat 3:
Depending on the outside temperature
and the engine temperature, the
passenger compartmentis heated upmore
quickly using an auxiliary electric heater.

z Set the temperature to the desired
setting,
z Switch fan on, adjust fan setting as

The auxiliary electric heater switches itself
on a utoma tica lly .
z For maximum ventilation in head area:
set air distribution switch to M and open
all air vents,
z For ventilation to footwell:
Set air distribution switch to K,
z For simultaneous ventilation to the head
area and the footwell:
Set air distribution switch to L.
