Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
3
Provides the greatest amount of comfort in
the interior regardless of the weather,
outside temperature or season.
To ensure a constant and comfortable
climate in the vehicle, the temperature of
the inflowing air, the airflow rate and the
air distribution are changed automatically
according to climatic conditions outside
the vehicle.
Temperature changes due to external
influences, such as direct sunlight, are
automatically compensated.
Data is shown on the information display.
Setting modifications are briefly shown in
the information display, superimposing
over the currently displayed menu.
The display can vary according to the type
of presentation – see page 46.
The settings of the system are
automatically stored specifically for the
vehicle key used - see page 68.
Different settings are stored for each
remote control. Use of a remote control will
activate the settings associated with it.

Manual settings e.g. operating without
cooling and air distribution can be selected
using the menu – see page 169.
When cooling (air conditioning
compressor) is active, air is cooled and
dehumidified.
The pollen filter removes dust, soot, pollen
and spores from the inflowing outside air.

The automatic air recirculation system
3
has an air quality sensor
3
to detect
harmful ambient gases, in which case it will
switch automatically to recirculation.
When set to automatic mode, the system
provides the optimal settings for almost all
conditions. If necessary, system settings
can be modified manually.
The system is only operational when the
engine is running.
Cooling (air conditioning compressor)
switches off automatically at low outside
temperatures.
