Controls in detail Climate control i Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollution) may require replacement of the filter before its scheduled interval. A clogged filter will reduce the air volume to the interior. If the vehicle interior is hot, ventilate the interior before driving off. The climate control will then adjust the interior temperature to the set value much faster. Keep the air intake grille in front of the windshield free of snow and debris. When the retractable hardtop is closed, do not obstruct air flow by placing objects on the air flow-through exhaust slots below the rear window. Switching climate control system on/off Setting the temperature Use temperature controls 1 and 4 ( page 174) to separately adjust the air temperature on each side of the passenger compartment. You should raise or lower the temperature setting in small increments, preferably starting at 72°F (22°C). The climate control will adjust to the set temperature as fast as possible. Increasing Turn temperature control 1 and/or 4 ( page 174) slightly clockwise. The climate control system will correspondingly adjust the interior air temperature. Warning! G When the climate control is switched off, the outside air supply and circulation are also switched off. Only choose this setting for a short time. Otherwise the windows could fog up, impairing visibility and endangering you and others. Switching off Set air volume control 2 ( page 174) to position 0. Switching on Switch on the ignition ( page 37). Set air volume control 2 to any speed ( page 174). The previous settings are once again in effect. 175
