senger compartment heating.
It activates in cold weather conditions, if the following
conditions are verified:
•outside temperature low;
• engine coolant temperature low;
• engine on;
• fan speed set to 1st speed;
• Temperature Control knob turned completely clock-
wise to red section.
The heater is switched off when at least one of the
conditions above is no longer verified.
NOTE: The power of the electric heater is modulated
according to the battery voltage.CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage
to the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of the rear
window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window. Use a soft
cloth and a mild washing solution, wiping paral-
lel to the heating elements. Labels can be peeled
off after soaking with warm water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abra-
sive window cleaners on the interior surface of
the window.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.
System Maintenance
In winter, the climate control system must be turned on
at least once a month for about 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized dealership
before the summer.
NOTE: The system uses R-1234yf coolant which does
not pollute the environment in the event of accidental
leakage. Under no circumstances is the use of R-134a
allowed.
