Ventilation, heating and cooling 3 are
combined into one unit that is designed to
provide comfort regardless of the season,
weather or outside temperature.
When cooling 3 is activated, the air is
cooled and dried.
The heating unit heats the air as required in
all operating modes depending on the
position of the temperature switch. The air
supply can be adjusted to suit
requirements by means of the fan.

Air vents At least one air vent must be open while
cooling 3 (air conditioning compressor) is
on in order to prevent the evaporator from
icing up due to lack of air movement.
Comfortable ventilation of the interior is
based on the position of the temperature
switch.
To increase the air supply, set the fan to a
higher speed and set the air distribution
switch to M or L.

In addition to the effects of the heating
and ventilation system, the air conditioning
system cools and dehumidified (dries) the
inflowing air.
If no cooling or dehumidification is
required, switch off cooling to save fuel.
Cooling switches off automatically at low
outside temperatures.
9 Warning
Failure to follow the description could
lead to misting or icing of the windows,
which in turn could lead an accident
stemming from lack of visibility.

Air recirculation system 4
The air recirculation mode of the
ventilation system is activated and
deactivated by pressing the 4 button.
If fumes or unpleasant odours penetrate
from outside: temporarily switch on air
recirculation system 4.

temperatures, switch on the air
recirculation system briefly.Air distribution to V: the air recirculation
system is automatically switched off to
speed up window demisting and prevent
fogging.

The air recirculation system minimises
the entry of outside air. The humidity
increases, and the windows can mist up.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates which
may cause vehicle occupants to feel
drowsy.
