 page 27
One of the following systems can be installed
in the vehicle:
● Heating and fresh air system
● Manual air conditioning
● Climatronic
The heatin g and fr

esh air system heats and
ventilates the passenger compartment. The
heating and fresh air system cannot cool.
The manual air conditioning and the Clima-
tronic cool and dehumidify the air. Its opti-
mum output is achieved with the windows
and the glass sunroof closed. In case of con-
siderable heat build-up in the passenger
compartment, ventilating this compartment
can accelerate the cooling process.
Display of active functions
The luminous diodes (LED) that light up on
the rotary regulators and on the buttons that
indicate that the corresponding function is
activated. In the case of the Climatronic, the functions
that ar

e activated are shown on the control
panel display. WARNING
When visibility through the windows is poor,
the risk of

accidents or collisions taking place
is increased, which can lead to serious inju-
ries.
● To obtain good visibility, keep the windows
free of ic
e, snow and frost.
● Set the heating, the air conditioner and the
rear w
indow defroster so that the windows do
not mist over.
● Only put the car in gear when there is good
vis
ibility through the windows.
● Do not use the air recirculation for a long
time period. With the c
ooling disconnected
and the air recirculation connected, the win-
dows can quickly mist over and seriously ob-
struct visibility.
● Disconnect the air recirculation whenever it
is not
needed. WARNING
Stale air can quickly bring about fatigue for
the driver and r educ

e his/her capacity to con-
centrate, which could lead to collisions, acci-
dents and serious injuries.
● Never disconnect the blower for an exten-
ded time or never le
ave the air recirculation
disconnected for an extended time, since in the meantime, no outside fresh air shall enter
the pa
s

senger compartment. CAUTION
If the air conditioner does not work, discon-
nect it immedi

ately together with the defrost-
ing/demisting function (in the case of manual
air conditioning) and have the system
checked out by a specialised workshop. In
this way, other damage can be avoided. CAUTION
To avoid damage to the rear window defrost-
er , u nder no c

ircumstances should you stick
any adhesives on the electrical filaments of
the interior side of this defroster. Air recirculation
In air recirculation mode, no fresh air enters
the

Air conditioning
WARNING
Stale air can quickly bring about fatigue for
the driver and r educ
e his/her capacity to con-
centrate, which could lead to collisions, acci-
dents and serious injuries.
● Never use the air recirculation for an exten-
ded time, since in the me
antime, no outside
fresh air shall enter the passenger compart-
ment.
● With the cooling disconnected and the air
recir
culation connected, the windows can quickly mist over and seriously obstruct visi-
bi
lity

.
● Disconnect the air recirculation whenever it
is not
needed. CAUTION
Do not smoke when the air recirculation is
c onnect ed in

vehicles with an air conditioner.
Smoke taken in could settle in the cooling
system vaporiser and on the dust and pollen
filter, therefore leading to permanently un-
pleasant odours. Note
● Climatr onic:

When the reverse gear is en-
gaged, the air recirculation is briefly connec-
ted to avoid exhaust gas from entering the
passenger compartment.
● Whenever the outside temperature is very
high, it is
essential to connect the manual air
recirculation mode briefly so that the passen-
ger compartment may cool down more quick-
ly. Air vents
Fig. 143
On the dash panel: air vents To obtain heating output, sufficient cooling
and
venti

lation in the passenger compart-
ment, the air vents must remain open.
Key to the Fig. 143: Adjustable air vents With the blades of
the vents
you can open and shut the
vents, as well as set the direction in
which you may wish the air to come out.
So that the air may reach the windows as
1 expeditiously as possible, open the cor-
r
e s
ponding vent and turn the defrost-
ing/demisting position, where it shall

ontrols The following application tips and instruc-
tion
s of

use shall assist you to use the sys-
tems correctly.
Reasons for which the cooling is automati-
cally disconnected or cannot be connected
● The engine is not running.
● The fan is switched off.
● The air conditioner fuse is burnt out.
● The ambient temperature is less than ap-
prox
imately +3 °C (+38 °F). ●
The coolin
g system compressor has been
temporarily disconnected due to the exces-
sive temperature of the engine coolant.
● Another fault in the vehicle. Turn to a speci-
alised work
shop and have the former check
the air conditioning system.
Settings for optimum visibility
● Keep the air intake slots in front of the
winds
creen clear of snow, ice or leaves to en-
sure heating or cooling are not impaired, and
to prevent the windows from misting over. ●
So that the air m
ay circulate throughout the
passenger compartment from the front area
to the rear one, leave the ventilation slots un-
cluttered in the rear area of the boot.
● The maximum possible heating output and
fas
test possible elimination of ice on the win-
dows shall be reached when the engine cool-
ant is at operating temperature.
