Heating and air conditioning system
Climatronic
Overview of the Climatronic
Climatronic is an automatic air conditioning system which warms, cools and dehumidifies the air. In automatic mode, Climatronic can automatically control the air
temperature, air distribution and the volume of air.
The air conditioner is most effective when the vehicle interior is kept closed. If there is a build-up of heat inside the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed up the
cooling process.
Some functions of the air conditioner, as well as a climate control bar for the rear seats, depend on the vehicle equipment.
Display of activated functions
Illuminated symbols on the sensor areas indicate that a function is activated.
In the Air conditioner menu in the Infotainment system, function keys highlighted in color indicate that a function is switched on ⇒ Air conditioner menu in the
Infotainment system.
Air conditioner with voice command operation
Some of the air conditioner functions can be operated with voice control, depending on the vehicle equipment ⇒ Voice control.
WARNING
Icy, snow-covered or misted windows greatly reduce visibility. This increases the risk of collisions and accidents that could result in serious or fatal injuries.
Keep all windows free of ice, snow and fog.
Adjust the heating, air conditioner, and rear window defroster to a setting where the windows do not fog up ⇒ Troubleshooting.
Only start driving when all windows are clear.
Only use recirculation mode for a short time. Otherwise, the windows could fog up very quickly and greatly reduce visibility.
Switch off air recirculation as soon as it is no longer needed.
