Operation
CAUTION
Follow the instructions given in the manual. Roof load
The maximum permissible roof load (includ-
ing the support system) of
75 k
g and the total
authorised weight of the vehicle must not be
exceeded.
It will not be possible to carry the full maxi-
mum load if the roof carrier you are using is
rated for a load which is less than this figure.
In this case, you can only load the roof carrier
to the maximum load permitted in your instal-
lation manual. Air conditioning
Heating and air conditioning Gener al not
es The power of the heating depends on the
temper
at
ure of the coolant. Therefore, maxi-
mum power is only obtained when the engine
has reached operating temperature.
The temperature and humidity of the air in-
side the vehicle decrease when the cooling
system is turned on. This therefore increases
the comfort of all vehicle occupants when
outside temperatures and humidity are high. It
also helps prevent the windows from misting
over during cold periods of the year.
The air recirculation system can be switched
on temporarily to increase the cooling effect.
Keep the air intake slots in front of the wind-
screen clear of ice, snow or leaves to ensure
unimpaired heating and cooling.
When the air conditioning is on, condensa-
tion can drip from the evaporator in the air
cooling system and form a pool underneath
the vehicle. This is normal and does not indi-
cate a leak! WARNING
