Switching solar ventilation on and off

The solar ventilation mode enables you to ventilate the interior of your vehicle with the aid of solar energy even while the engine is switched off. The solar cells necessary for this are located in the sliding roof of the vehicle. Consequently, the air in the vehicle, which heats up very quickly in direct sunlight when doors and windows are closed, is constantly renewed with fresh air from outside when this function is active. This way the temperature inside the vehicle can be maintained within tolerable limits without the battery being drained.
