the air conditioning or heating
system on. It may cause seri-
ous harm or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
Continued climate control
system operation in the recir-
culated air position can cause
drowsiness or sleepiness,
and loss of vehicle control.

refrigerant.
1. Start the engine. Push the air con-
ditioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.

Information
Your vehicle is filled with R-134a or
R-1234yf according to the regulation
in your country at the time of produc-
tion. You can find out which air condi-
tioning refrigerant is applied to your
vehicle on the label located inside of
the bonnet. Refer to chapter 8 for the
location of the air conditioning refrig-
erant label. The refrigerant system should
only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians to insure
proper and safe operation.
The refrigerant system should
be serviced in a well-ventilated
place.
The air conditioning evaporator
(cooling coil) should never be
repaired or replaced with one
removed from a used or sal-
vaged vehicle and new replace-
ment MAC evaporators should
be certified (and labelled) as
meeting SAE Standard J2842.
Information
• When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely whilst driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine
overheating. Continue to use the
blower fan but turn the air condi-
tioning system off if the temperature
gauge indicates engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in
humid weather, air conditioning
may create water droplets inside the
vehicle. Since excessive water
droplets may cause damage to elec-
trical equipment, the air condition-
ing should only be used with the
windows closed.
