Heating and air conditioning system

Climatronic

Overview of the Climatronic

Climatronic is an automatic air conditioning system which warms, cools and dehumidiﬁes the air. In automatic mode,

Climatronic can automatically control the air temperature, air distribution and the volume of air.

Certain functions of the air conditioner depend on the vehicle equipment.

Fig. 88 In the upper section of the center console: Climate control bar for the Climatronic system.

Making Eﬃcient Use of the Air Conditioner

The air conditioner is most effective when the vehicle interior is kept closed. In the event of heat build-up in the vehicle interior

brief ventilation can accelerate the cooling process.

Display of activated functions

Illuminated LEDs on the climate control bar indicate that the function is activated.

In the Air conditioner menu in the Infotainment system, function keys highlighted in color indicate that a function is switched on

⇒ Air conditioner menu in the Infotainment system.

WARNING

Icy, snow-covered or foggy door windows restrict visibility very severely. This increases the risk of collisions and

accidents, which may result in serious or fatal injuries.

Keep all windows free of ice, snow and fog.

Adjust the heating, air conditioner, and rear window defroster to a setting where the windows do not fog up

⇒ Troubleshooting.

Only start driving when all windows are clear.

Only use recirculation mode for a short time. Otherwise, the windows could fog up very quickly and greatly reduce

visibility.

Always switch off recirculation mode as soon as it is not necessary.
