Air conditioning
To ensure that your system operates
correctly, it is recommended to have
it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential to
operate the air conditioning at least
once in every month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight
the interior temperature is excessive,
ventilate the passenger compartment
by opening the windows for a few
moments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by using
power from the engine. This results in
a slight increase in fuel consumption.
Dust filter/Odour filter
(active carbon)
T h e r e i s a fi l t e r f o r e x c l u d i n g o d o u r s
and dust.
T h i s fi l t e r h a s t o b e c h a n g e d i n a c -
cordance with the vehicle servicing
schedule (see "Maintenance and
Warranty Guide").
Air circulation
Maximum comfort is obtained when
there is a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
F o r o p t i m u m o p e r a t i n g e f fi c i e n c y ,
take care not to obstruct the air out-
lets under the front seats.
Air vents
The face-level air vents have grilles
a n d t h u m b w h e e l s t o a d j u s t t h e a i r fl o w
and direction (up-down, right-left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning, inside the cabin, uses
the sunlight sensor located on the
dashboard behind the instrument
panel.
Be careful not to obstruct it.
