x The fan is turned off.
x The air conditioner fuse has blown.
x The ambient air temperature is colder than +38 °F (+3 °C).

Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Special considerations
When it is very hot and humid outside, water condensation can drip from the air conditioner
evaporator and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak.
The climate control system adjusts the passenger compartment temperature as fast as possible
considering the outside temperature.
Due to residual moisture in the air conditioner, the windshield may fog up after the engine is
started. Switch on the windshield defroster to help evaporate the condensation as quickly as possible.
The air coming out the vents and flow through the passenger compartment and out through the
vents below the rear window. Do not cover these slots with clothing or other objects.
