88 Heating and air conditioning system
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period
of time. "Stale air" may result in fatigue in the driver and passen-
gers, reduce attention levels and also cause the windows to mist
up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recirculated
air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
Note
•
The whole heat output will be needed to unfrost the windscreen and
side windows. No warm air will be fed to the footwell. This can lead to
restriction of the heating comfort.
•
The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the
luggage compartment.
