Controls and equipment

Fig. 106 On the dash panel: Heater controls

– Using the controls  fig. 106 1 and 4 and the control you can set the temperature, air distribution and the airflow.

– To switch a function on or off, press the appropriate button 2 or 3. When the function is activated, the display window in the lower left of the button is lit.

Temperature
With the regulator 1 the heating level is determined. The required temperature inside the vehicle cannot be lower than the ambient temperature.

Maximum heat output, which is needed to defrost the windows quickly, is only available when the engine has reached its operating temperature.

Rear window heating
This function 2 will be switched off automatically approximately 20 minutes after being switched on. It can also be switched off beforehand by pushing the button

Air recirculation mode
Air recirculation mode 3 prevents strong odours in the outside air from entering the vehicle interior, for example when passing through a tunnel or in queuing traffic .

With low outside temperatures, the air recirculation increases the effectiveness of the heating system by warming the air inside the passenger compartment rather than the air from outside.

Air distribution
Control 4 for setting the flow of air in the required direction.

– Air distribution towards the windscreen. Air recirculation is, for safety reasons, not possible in this position.

– Air distribution to the upper body.

– Air distribution to foot well – Air distribution to the windscreen and the foot well.

Blower
The airflow can be set at four speeds with the control 5. The airflow should always be set at the lowest speed when driving slowly.

WARNING

• For road safety all windows must be clear of ice, snow, and condensation.

This is essential to ensure good visibility. Please familiarise yourself with the correct operation of the heating and ventilation system, including the anti-fog/defrost functions for the windows.
• In air recirculation mode, no ambient air enters the vehicle interior. The windows can quickly fog over if the heating is switched off. Therefore, you should never leave the air recirculation mode switched on for longer periods, as this increases the risk of an accident.

Note
Please observe the general notes.
