Cooling
Operational only with engine running and
with the fan switched on:
Control indicator in the button illuminates
when air conditioning is enabled and
extinguishes when the system is switched
off.
Cooling switches off automatically at low
outside temperatures.
Engine power and performance may be
affected when the system is on.
If the fan is switched off, the air
conditioning system will not operate. Once activated, the air conditioning
system is operated via the normal heating
and ventilation 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.
Switching on the air conditioning will assist
in windscreen demisting. In very hot
temperatures, before starting the engine,
allow hot air to escape from the vehicle by
opening the windows and sun roof
3.
When the air conditioning system is
switched on, at least one of the adjustable
centre or side air vents must be open, so
that the evaporator does not ice up due to
lack of air movement.
Driving in stop-and-go traffic may reduce
the effectiveness of the air conditioning
system.
Using the air conditioning system when
driving up long hills or in heavy traffic
can cause engine overheating. If engine
coolant temperature warning control
indicator W illuminates in instrument
panel, turn off air co nditioning and allow
engine to idle for a few minutes (see
page 71). Normal cooling

left) into manual gate, then forwards or
backwards.
Tip selector lever in the appropriate
direction. It then returns to centre position.
Gearshifting in manual mode can be
achieved whilst accelerating.
If the engine speed is too low, the
transmission will automatically shift to a
lower gear, even in manual mode. This
prevents the engine from stalling.
After stopping, 1st gear is automatically
selected.
No automatic shifting to a higher gear
takes place at high engine speeds. When upshifting in manual mode, take
heed of prevailing road conditions,
keeping engine speed below the red zone.
Downshifts must be made in accordance
with vehicle speed.
Gears can be skipped by moving the
selector lever repeated
ly at short intervals.
When starting on slippery surfaces, move
selector lever forwards to engage 2nd

do not operate as normal or leaks are
found in the brake system, do not attempt
to drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle towed
to a workshop for inspection and repair.
If the control indicator does not illuminate
when the ignition is switched on or when
the hand brake is applied (with ignition
on), stop and consult a workshop.
