Tips for pleasant driving
Use the automatic system – switch on with
AUTO button
6. Select the desired interior tem-
perature.
Detailed setting options are described for you
below.
Automatic air distribution and supply
The AUTO program assumes the
adjustment of the air distribution and
air supply for you and in addition
adapts the temperature to external
influences, summer or winter, to meet prefer-
ences you can specify.
In the AUTO program, the air conditioning
mode is also turned on at the same time.
The AUTO program functions only to a
limited extent when the convertible top is
open. <
Individual air distribution
You yourself can direct airflow onto
the windows
, toward the upper
body and into the footwell . The
arrow lights up. The automatic air
supply remains unchanged. All intermediate
settings are possible. By pressing the AUTO
button, you can reactivate the air distribution.
Temperature
The interior temperature that
appears on the display panel is a gen-
eral figure intended for reference
purposes. When you start the vehi-
cle, the system ensures that the selected tem-
perature is reached as quickly as possible,
regardless of the season. It then maintains this
temperature.
Air supply/blower
Turn the rotary control to adjust the
air supply. This shuts off the auto-
matic air supply. The arrow lights up.
The automatic air distribution
remains unchanged. You can reactivate the
automatic air supply by pressing the AUTO but-
ton.
When you turn the rotary control toward zero:
the blower, heating and air conditioner are
switched off, and the air supply is stopped. You
can reactivate the system by turning the control
toward the right again.
To defrost windows and remove
condensation
This program quickly removes ice
and condensation from the wind-
shield and the side windows.
Maximum cooling
Above an outside temperature of
32
7/06 and with the engine run-
ning, you achieve a maximum cooling
effect as quickly as possible. At the
same time, the air conditioning is turned on.
The temperature is set to the lowest possible
value. The system switches to the recirculated
air mode, and air flows at maximum blower
speed from the ventilation grills in the upper
body area only. Therefore, the air outlets must
always be open when you select this program.
Air conditioning
The air is cooled and dehumidified
and, depending on the temperature
setting, rewarmed.
Depending on the weather, the wind-
shield may fog over briefly when the engine is
started.
The air conditioning system is automatically
switched on when you use the AUTO program.
Condensation forms during operation of
the air conditioning system, which then
exits under the vehicle. Traces of condensed
water on the ground underneath the vehicle are
thus normal.
<
Outside air/Automatic recirculated air
control AUC/recirculated air mode
You can respond to unpleasant
external odors or pollutants by tem-
porarily stopping the flow of outside
air. The system then recirculates the
air currently within the vehicle.
