Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-specific and optional features offered with the series. It also describes features that are not necessarily available in your car, e.g., due to the selected options or country versions. This also applies to safety-related functions and systems. The respectively applicable country provisions must be observed when using the respective features and systems.
Sufficient ventilation: When remaining in the vehicle for an extended period, ensure sufficient external ventilation. Do not continuously use recirculated-air mode; otherwise, air quality in the interior deteriorates and window condensation increases.
Press buttons repeatedly to select a program:
Turn the ring to set the desired air volume. The higher the rate, the more effective the heating or cooling will be. The air flow of the automatic climate control may be reduced automatically to save battery power.
Press the AUTO button. Air flow, air distribution, and temperature are controlled automatically. Depending on the selected temperature and outside influences, air is directed to the windshield, side windows, upper body, and footwell. The cooling function is switched on automatically with the AUTO program.
Temporarily suspend the supply of outside air to avoid unpleasant odors or pollutants. Press the button repeatedly to select an operating mode:
Turn the ring to set the desired temperature. The automatic climate control reaches this temperature as quickly as possible by adjusting heating or cooling output, and then maintains it. Do not rapidly switch between different temperature settings, or the system may not adjust properly.
Press the Defrost button. Ice and condensation are quickly removed from the windshield and front side windows.
