Climatronic
Overview of the Climatronic
Automatic air conditioner
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.

Poor visibility through the windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents that can cause serious injury.

Adjust the heating, air conditioner, and rear window defroster to a setting where the windows do not fog up.
-
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.
-
Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not necessary.
