Switching cooling function on and off The cooling function cools and dehumidifies the incoming air before also reheating it as required, 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. Maximally cooled air is obtained as quickly as possible at an outside temperature above approx. 32 7/ 06 and with the engine running. The automatic climate control switches into the recirculated-air mode at the lowest temperature. The maximum air volume flows out of the air vents for the upper body. Therefore, open these vents for maximum cooling. AUC Automatic recirculated-air control/recirculated-air mode You can respond to pollutants or unpleasant odors in the immediate environment by suspending the supply of outside air. The system then recirculates the air currently within the vehicle. During AUC operation, a sensor detects pollutants in the outside air and controls the shut-off automatically.
