Switching cooling function on and off The cooling function cools and dehumidifies the incoming air before reheating it as needed according to the temperature setting. This function is only available when the engine is running. The cooling function helps to avoid condensation on the window surfaces or to quickly remove them. Depending on the weather, the windshield may fog over briefly when the engine is started. The cooling function is switched on automatically with the AUTO program. Maximum cooling Maximally cooled air is obtained as quickly as possible at an outside temperature above approx. 32 7/ 0 6 and with the engine running. At the lowest temperature, the automatic climate control switches into recirculating air mode. The maximum air volume flows out of the vents for the upper body. It is therefore necessary for these vents to be open for maximum cooling.
