Air conditioning system Additional to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has:
n
= Cooling
4 = Air recirculation Cooling n
Operated with the n button and is
functional only when the engine and
fan are running.
The air condition system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) when outside
temperature
is above a specific level.
Therefore condensation may form
and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Air recirculation system 4
The air recirculation mode is operated
with the 4 button. 9
Warning The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In

operation without cooling the air
humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up. The quality
of the passenger compartment air
deteriorates, which may cause the
vehicle occupants to feel drowsy. Air distribution to
l: Air recirculation
is deactivated.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.
