Important safety notes
The cooling with air dehumidification function of
the air conditioning or automatic climate control
is only available when the engine is running. The
air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehumidified
according to the temperature selected.
Condensation may appear on the underside of
the vehicle when in cooling mode. This is normal
and not a sign that there is a malfunction.
If you switch off the "Cooling with air dehumid-
ification" function, the air inside the vehicle will
not be cooled (in warm weather) or dehumidi-
fied. Therefore, only switch off the "Cooling with
air dehumidification" function briefly. Other-
wise, the windows will fog up more quickly.
