Air flow rate
Adjust the air flow rate. The higher the rate, the more effective the heating or cooling will be. The air flow rate is lowered or switched off entirely to save on battery power.
Switching the system on/off
Turn the air flow rate rotary switch to 0. Blower and air conditioner are completely switched off and the air supply is cut off. Set any desired air flow rate to switch on the air conditioner.
Cooling function
When the cooling function is on, the air is cooled, dried, then reheated according to the temperature setting. The recirculated-air mode may be switched on automatically. This function is only available while the engine is running. The cooling function helps prevent condensation on the windows or removes it quickly. Depending on the weather, the windshield may fog over briefly when the engine is started.
Recirculated-air mode
If the air outside the car has an unpleasant odor or contains pollutants, shut off the supply to the interior of the car temporarily. The system then recirculates the air currently within the vehicle. If condensation starts to form on the inside window surfaces, switch off the recirculated-air mode and, if necessary, switch on the cooling function or increase the air flow rate.< To prevent the air quality inside the vehicle from deteriorating during extended use of the recirculated-air mode, fresh air is added briefly at regular intervals.<
Temperature
Turn upward, red, to increase the temperature. Turn downward, blue, to decrease the temperature.
Rear window defroster
The defroster is switched off automatically after a certain time.
