Air conditioning system
Additional to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
AC:coolingu:air recirculationHeated rear window Ü 3 37, Heated
seats ß 3 44.
Cooling (AC)
Operated by pressing AC and
functional only when the engine and
fan are running.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is a little above
the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from
under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Notice
If the climate control is set to
maximum cooling while the ambient temperature is high, an Autostop
may be inhibited until the required
temperature in the passenger
compartment has been reached.
If the climate control is set to
maximum cooling while the engine is in an Autostop, the engine mayrestart automatically.
Stop-start system 3 119.Air recirculation system
Operated by pressing u.9 Warning
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. The quality
of the passenger compartment air
deteriorates, which may cause the vehicle occupants to feel drowsy.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hotair can disperse quickly.
● Cooling AC on.
● Air recirculation system u on.
● Set air distribution control to M.
● Set temperature control to coldest level.
● Set fan speed to highest level.
● Open all air vents.

Rear heating system
If the engine is switched off, the rear
compartment can be heated by the
additional heating, through low level
vents.
By programming values using the
control panel, the user can adjust the
time, day and temperature settings.
Heating will cease to operate if the
vehicle fuel level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance, the
low level air vents in the rear
passenger compartment must not be
obstructed.9 Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Setting the time and day
