CLIMATE CONTROL
Advice for use
In some cases (air conditioning off, air
recycling on, ventilation speed nil or
insignificant, etc.), the vehicle windows
and windscreen can mist up. In case of
misting, use the MAX DEF function to
eliminate it, then, to prevent it from
re-forming, use the air conditioning in
automatic mode.
Maintenance
Please see the Scheduled Service Plan.
IMPORTANT Air conditioning function
means greater fuel consumption (turn
off the system when you no longer
need it).
50) 51)
2)
Consumption
Greater fuel consumption is normal
(especially in urban traffic) when the air
conditioning is in use. Some advice for
reducing fuel consumption to a
minimum and helping safeguard the
environment:
deactivate the system when it is not
needed;
while driving, keep the diffuser open
and the windows closed;
if the vehicle has been parked in high
temperatures or in the sun, aerate the
passenger compartment to let out the
hot air before leaving.
