Information about using 3-zone automatic climate control
The following contains instructions and recommendations to enable you to get the most out of your automatic climate control.
• Activate climate control using the
and
buttons. The indicator lamps
above the 
and
buttons
light up.
• In automatic mode, you can also use the
button to set a climate mode
(FOCUS/MEDIUM/DIFFUSE). The
MEDIUM level is recommended.
• Set the temperature to 72 
(22
).
• Only use the "Windshield defrosting"
function briefly until the windshield is clear
again.
• Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
if there are unpleasant outside odors or when in a tunnel. The windows could otherwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.
• Use the ZONE function to adopt the
temperature settings on the driver's side
for the front-passenger side and the rear
compartment as well. The indicator lamp
above the 
button goes out.
• Use the residual heat function if you want
to heat or ventilate the vehicle interior
when the ignition is switched off. The
residual heat function can only be activated
or deactivated with the ignition switched
off.
