Air conditioning system
Additional to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
A/C:coolingu:air recirculationHeated rear window Ü 3 41, Heated
seats ß 3 50.
Cooling (A/C)
Press A/C to switch on cooling. The
LED in the button illuminates to
indicate activation. Cooling is only
functional when the engine is running
and climate control fan is switched on.
Press A/C again to switch off cooling.
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.
Note
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 may
restart automatically.
Stop-start system 3 136.
Air recirculation system Press u to activate air recirculation
mode. The LED in the button
illuminates to indicate activation.
Press u again to deactivate air
recirculation mode.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.
