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 from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen might mist

The air intakes in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filterCabin air filtration
A particle filter cleans the cabin air
from dust, soot, pollen and spores.
Active carbon filter
In addition to the particle filter the
active carbon filter reduces odours.
Air conditioning regular
operation In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once a
week, irrespective of the weather and time of year. Operation with cooling is
not possible when outside
temperature is too low.
Service For optimal cooling performance, it isrecommended to annually check the
climate control system, starting
3 years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
■ Functionality and pressure test■ Heating functionality
■ Leakage check
■ Check of drive belts

126Driving and operating
An Autostop is indicated by the
needle at the AUTOSTOP position in
the tachometer.
During an Autostop, the heating, power steering and brake
performance will be maintained.
Air conditioning system may or may
not inhibit the stop-start system
according to the cooling performance.
Caution
