most effectively when the windows and the glass roof are closed. If heat has built up in the vehicle
interior, ventilating the vehicle can speed up the cooling process.

WARNING
Poor visibility through the windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which can cause
serious injuries.
Keep all windows free from ice, snow and condensation to maintain good visibility.
Adjust the heating, air conditioning system and rear window heating so that condensation does not
form on the windows.
Only set off once all windows are clear.
Use air recirculation mode for a short period only. If the cooling system is switched off, condensation
can form on the windows very quickly in air recirculation mode and reduce visibility considerably.
