8-4Climate controls
Even with air conditioning on, if
temperature rotary knob is set to
warm, the vehicle will still produce
warm air in the passenger
compartment.
To improve efficiency of the air
conditioning, always close the
windows, to prevent chilled air from
escaping.
In very high temperatures, before
starting the engine, allow hot air to
escape from the vehicle by opening
the windows and switching on the
fan.
When the air conditioning system is
switched on, open adjustable side air
vents so that the evaporator does not
ice up due to lack of air movement.
When cooling (air conditioning
compressor) is switched on,
condensation forms, which is
expelled from the underside of the
vehicle.
To ensure continuously efficient
performance and prolong the life of
the air conditioning system, it must be switched on for a few minutes once a
week, irrespective of the weather and
time of year.
Malfunctions in the system must not
be rectified by the owner: seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Maximum cooling
Open windows briefly and switch fan
on so that warm air can escape
rapidly.
„Press button n (or A/C)
(to switch on air conditioning
system).
„Activate air recirculation mode 4.„Set air distribution rotary knob to M.
„Turn temperature rotary knob all
the way to blue area for cooling.
„Set fan to 4.
Air vents
Centre air vents
The air flow can be directed as
desired by tilting the slats up, down
and sideways using the central
adjuster.
The air supply is increased by
switching on the fan.
