Air conditioning
124 Switching the air conditioning on/off
i When the air conditioning is switched off,
the air supply and air circulation are also
switched off. Only select this setting briefly,
otherwise the windows may mist up.
Thermatic X
Make sure that the key is in position 2in
the ignition lock or that the engine is run-
ning.
X To activate: turn thumbwheel 1clock-
wise to the desired position (apart from the
0 position) (Y page 122).

clockwise to position 0(Y page 122). Switching cooling with air dehumidi-
fication on/off
The "cooling with dehumidification" function
is only available when the engine is running.
The air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehu-
midified according to the temperature selec-
ted. This prevents the windows from misting
up. G
Risk of accident
If the "cooling with air dehumidification"
function is deactivated, the air inside the
vehicle will not be cooled (during warm
weather) or dehumidified. The windows
could mist up more quickly. This may pre-
vent you from observing the traffic condi-
tions, thereby causing an accident. H
Environmental note
The cooling system uses the refrigerant
R134A. This refrigerant does not damage
the earth's ozone layer.
i Condensation may drip from the under-
side of the vehicle when Thermatic is in
cooling mode. X

maintained automatically at a constant level.
To do so, the system automatically regulates
the temperature of the dispensed air, the air-
flow and the air distribution. The "cooling with
air dehumidification" function is on.
X Make sure that the engine is running.

Risk of injury
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the
air vents. This could cause burns or frost-
bite to bare skin in the immediate vicinity
of the vents. Keep bare skin away from
these air outlets. If necessary, direct the
airflow away to a different area of the vehi-
cle interior.
Please observe the following notes to ensure
that the air can flow freely through the air
vents:
R keep the air inlet between the windscreen
and the bonnet free of deposits, such as ice
and snow, to guarantee the supply of fresh
air into the vehicle interior.
R never cover the vents or air inlet and outlet
grilles in the vehicle interior.

vents in the central position to provide vir-
tually draught-free ventilation. Setting the centre air vents Centre air vents
