Sufficient ventilation
Press button.
Air flow, air distribution and tempera‐
ture are controlled automatically.
When remaining in the vehicle for an ex‐
tended period of time, ensure sufficient exter‐
nal ventilation. Do not continuously use recir‐
culated-air mode; otherwise the air quality in
the interior continuously deteriorates and win‐
dow condensation increases.◀
Depending on the selected temperature,
AUTO intensity program and outside influen‐
ces, the air is directed to the windshield, side
windows, upper body, and into the footwell.
The cooling function, refer to page 165, is
switched on automatically with the AUTO pro‐

Convertible program
When the convertible top is open, the
Temperature
convertible program is activated as well. In the
convertible program, the automatic climate
control is optimized for driving with the
convertible top open. In addition, the air flow is
increased as the vehicle speed increases.
Turn the ring to set the desired
temperature.
The efficiency of the convertible program can
be greatly enhanced by installing the wind de‐
flector.
The automatic climate control achieves this
temperature as quickly as possible, if needed
by using the maximum cooling or heating li‐
dacity, and then keeps it constant.
Air flow, manual
Do not rapidly switch between different tem‐
perature settings. Otherwise, the automatic cli‐
mate control will not have sufficient time to ad‐
just the set temperature.
To manually adjust air flow turn off AUTO pro‐
gram first.
Press the left or right side of the but‐
ton: decrease or increase air flow.
