Introduction
The following systems may be installed in the vehicle:
The manual air conditioning systemheats, cools and dehumidifies the air.
The Climatronic is an automatic air conditioning system that heats, cools and dehumidifies the air. Automatic mode
enables the Climatronic to control the air temperature, air distribution and air volume automatically.
The air conditioning system will function most effectively if the windows are kept closed. Opening the windows and
glass roof to allow air to enter the vehicle may accelerate cooling if high temperatures have developed in the vehicle
interior.
Display of active functions
Illuminated symbols on the buttons indicate that the function is switched on.
Colour-coded function buttons display an activated function in the climate settings on the Infotainment system.
Operating the air conditioning system with voice commands
You can use voice control to operate some air conditioning system functions, depending on the vehicle equipment.
WARNING
Poor visibility through the door windows, windscreen and rear window increases the risk of collisions and accidents
which can cause serious injuries.
● Keep all door windows, the windscreen and the rear window free from ice, snow and condensation to maintain
perfect visibility.
● Adjust the heating, air conditioning and rear window heating to prevent the windows from misting up.
● Only set off once all windows are clear.
● Use air recirculation mode for a short period only. Condensation could otherwise form on the windows very
quickly so that visibility is greatly reduced.
● Switch off the air recirculation mode when it is no longer required.
WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which in turn can cause collisions,
accidents and serious injuries.
● Never switch off the blower or switch on the air recirculation mode for an extended period as this prevents fresh
air from entering the vehicle interior.
NOTICE
Heat-sensitive food, medicine and other items could be either damaged or rendered useless.
● Never leave food, medicines or other temperature-sensitive objects in front of the vents.
NOTICE
Do not insert any objects in the vent slots. This could cause damage to the air outlets.
NOTICE
If the air conditioning system is not working, switch it off immediately to prevent consequential damage. Have the
air conditioning system checked by a correspondingly qualified workshop.
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore change when
the user account changes (→ Personalisation).
