Reducing interior air humidity
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
The system controls the temperature,
amount and distribution of the air flow
automatically and adjusts them according
to the driving and weather conditions.
Pressing the
AUTObutton once switches
on the auto mode.
The system in your vehicle is dual-zone
automatic climate control. When the
system is in mono mode, all the
temperature zones are linked to the
driver's zone. When you switch mono
mode off, the dual-zone system allows
you to set different temperatures for the
driver's and front passenger's side. Note:Avoid adjusting the settings when
the vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. The automatic climate controladjusts to the current circumstancesautomatically. For the system to functionproperly, the side and centre vents shouldbe fully open.
Note:The sunload sensor is located on
top of the instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor with any objects.
Note:At low outside temperatures, when
the system is in auto mode, the air stream will be directed to the windscreen and theside windows as long as the engine iscold.

heating element that will defrost or demist

AUXILIARY HEATER
Parking heater
WARNINGS
The parking heater must not be
operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or
dust or in enclosed spaces. The parking heater should be
switched on for approximately 10
minutes at least once a month all
year round. This prevents the water pump
and heater motor from seizing. Note:
The parking heater will only
operate if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6 gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank and theambient temperature is below 15°C(59°F). The heater will not operate if thebattery is low.
Note:The heating depends on the
outside air temperature.
Note:When the parking heater is
activated, exhaust fumes may come from under the sides of the vehicle. This isnormal.
Note:On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is dependent on the temperature, airdistribution and blower control settings.
The parking heater operates
independently of the vehicle heater by
heating the engine’s coolant circuit. It is
fed from the vehicle fuel tank. You can
also use it while the vehicle is in motion to
help the vehicle heater warm up the
interior more quickly.
Used properly, the parking heater
provides the following benefits:
• It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
• It keeps the windows clear of ice in
the event of frost and prevents
condensation.
• It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating
temperature sooner.
To prevent the battery from discharging:
• Once the parking heater has
performed one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only
be carried out if you have started the
vehicle’s engine in between.
• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
WARNING
If you use a car wash with a waxing
cycle, make sure that you remove
the wax from the windscreen.
CAUTIONS
Prior to using a car wash facility
check the suitability of it for your
vehicle.
Some car wash installations use
water at high pressure. This could
damage certain parts of your vehicle.
Remove the aerial before using an
automatic car wash.
Switch the heater blower off to
prevent contamination of the fresh
air filter.
We recommend that you wash your
vehicle with a sponge and lukewarm
water containing a car shampoo.
Cleaning the headlamps
CAUTIONS
Do not scrape the headlamp lenses
or use abrasives, alcoholic solvents
or chemical solvents to clean them.
Do not wipe the headlamps when
they are dry.
Cleaning the rear window
CAUTION
Do not scrape the inside of the rear
window or use abrasives or chemical
solvents to clean it.
Use a clean, lint free cloth or a damp
chamois leather to clean the inside of the
rear window. Cleaning the chrome trim CAUTION
Do not use abrasives or chemical
solvents. Use soapy water.
Body paintwork preservation
CAUTIONS
Do not polish your vehicle in strong
sunshine.
Do not allow polish to touch plastic
surfaces. It could be difficult to
remove.
Do not apply polish to the windscreen
or rear window. This could cause the
wipers to become noisy and they
may not clear the window properly. We recommend that you wax the
paintwork once or twice a year.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Seat belts
WARNINGS
Do not use abrasives, or chemical
solvents to clean them.
Do not allow moisture to penetrate
the seat belt retractor mechanism.
Clean the seat belts with interior cleaner
or water applied with a soft sponge. Let
the seat belts dry naturally, away from
artificial heat.
