Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very
h
igh, first ventilate the passenger
c
ompartment for a few moments.
Put
the air flow control at a setting high

nough to quickly change the air in the
p
assenger
c
ompartment.
The
air conditioning system does not
c
ontain chlorine and does not present
any
danger to the ozone layer.
