OPERATION
Outside air
Always keep the air intakes forwardof the front windscreen free of snow,leaves etc., to allow the system tofunction effectively.
Recirculated air
Note: It is not recommended to userecirculated air for more than 30minutes as there is no air exchangeand the windows may mist up.
When recirculated air is selected, onlythe air currently in the passengercompartment will be circulated.Outside air will not enter the vehicle.
Fresh air filter/activecarbon filter
The fresh air filter removes mostpotentially harmful particles such aspollen, industrial fallout and road dustfrom the air entering the vehicle’sinterior. The active carbon filterremoves odours.
In an automatic car wash, you shouldswitch off the ventilation blower toprevent the filter collecting waxdeposits.
Blower
The blower motor may emit noises.
Heating
The heating depends upon thecoolant temperature and is thereforeonly effective when the engine iswarm.
Air conditioning
Note: The air conditioning systemonly operates when the temperatureis above +5 ºC, the engine is runningand the blower is switched on.Operating the air conditioning leadsto higher fuel consumption.
The air is directed through thecoolant heat exchanger where it iscooled if the air conditioning isswitched on. In addition, humidity isextracted from the air to help keepthe windows free of mist.
The resulting condensation isdirected to the outside of the vehicle.It is therefore quite normal if younotice a small pool of waterunderneath the parked vehicle.
General notes oncontrolling the climate inthe vehicle’s interior
Close all the windows completely.
To warm the interior effectively, directthe heated air to the footwell area. Incold or humid weather, direct someof the air towards the frontwindscreen and side windows.
To cool the interior effectively, directthe cooled air towards the face level.
