Air conditioning
We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following func-
t i o n s : a i r fl o w , t e m p e r a t u r e i n t h e
passenger compartment and air
distribution, by means of various
s e n s o r s ( e x t e r i o r t e m p e r a t u r e , s u n -
shine). This eliminates any need for
you to change your settings other
than the temperature value dis-
played.
Please do not block the sunshine
sensor A .
If you select the automatic mode (by
pressing the "AUTO" control) and
leave all of the vents open, optimum
comfort will be maintained and humid-
ity and condensation will be removed
r e g a r d l e s s o f t h e e x t e r i o r c l i m a t i c c o n -
ditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
t h e e x t e r i o r t e m p e r a t u r e i f t h e a i r
conditioning is on.
VENTILATION, HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to be effective, the air condi-
tioning must be used with the windows
closed. If the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long period and the in-
terior temperature is very high, venti-
late the passenger compartment with
the windows open for a few minutes,
then close the windows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses the engine
power during its operation. As a result,
the fuel consumption of the vehicle in-
creases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
o u s u s e ( e . g . t o w i n g t h e m a x i m u m
load on a steep gradient in high tem-
peratures), switching off the air condi-
tioning permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore increases the
towing capacity.
Air inlet
C h e c k t h a t t h e e x t e r i o r g r i l l e f o r t h e
air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-
screen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spray-
ing at the air inlet. Air circulation
M a x i m u m c o m f o r t i s o b t a i n e d b y
means of a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of
a i r , t a k e c a r e n o t t o b l o c k t h e e x -
terior air intake grille located at the
base of the windscreen, the vents,
the air outlets under the front seats
