compartment can only be cooled with the engine running. Residual heat The heat stored in the engine is used to heat the passenger compartment, e.g. while stopped at a school to pick up a child. The function can be switched on when the following conditions are met: > up to 15 minutes after switching off the engine > engine at operating temperature > sufficient battery voltage The LED lights up when the function is switched on. With the ignition lock at radio readiness or higher the interior temperature, the air volume and the air distribution can be set. > outside temperature below 777/256 Maximum cooling Maximally cooled air is obtained as quickly as possible from an outside temperature above approx. 32 7/ 06 and with the engine running. The automatic climate control changes over to the lowest temperature and switches into the recirculated-air mode. The maximum air volume only flows out of the vents for the upper body. It is therefore necessary for these vents to be open for maximum cooling. AUC Automatic recirculated-air control/recirculated-air mode You can respond to unpleasant odors or pollutants in the immediate environment by temporarily suspending the supply of outside air. The system then recirculates the air currently within the vehicle. In AUC mode, a sensor detects pollutants in the outside air and controls the shut-off automatically. Press the button repeatedly to run through the following control sequence: > LED off: outside air flows into the vehicle continuously. > Right LED on, AUC mode: the system detects pollutants in the outside air and responds by blocking the supply of outside air when required. > Left LED on, recirculated-air mode: the supply of outside air into the vehicle is shut off continuously. If condensation starts to form on the inside window surfaces during operation in the recirculated-air mode, you should switch it off while also increasing the air volume as required. The recirculated-air mode should not be used over a longer period of time, as the air quality inside the vehicle deteriorates continuously.< The air volume, the heater and the cooling function are all switched off. You can restart the automatic climate control by pressing any of its buttons except the REST button.
