Air Distribution
Air conditioned, warmed, or fresh air may be directed to
the foot area, the windshield, and the side outlets (7). The
center outlets (5) are for non-heated air only.
The air volume through the center outlets (5) and side
outlets (7) can be varied with levers (6) and (8) respec­
tively. Pushing the lever up opens the air outlets com­
pletely.
Temperature Selection
Use the temperature selector to set the desired tem­
perature. The selected temperature is reached as
quickly as possible and maintained. Use a basic set­
ting of "22" . Refine your setting only in small steps to
avoid large temperature fluctuations.
" MIN" (notched-in) = maximum cooling or fresh air de­
pendent on push button selection of the air conditioning
mode control.
" MAX" (notched-in) = maximum heating.
A/C Mode Control Switch
S i ] Position US = Normal cooling, the air conditioning
ipn compressor is switched on.
m The vehicle may be heated or cooled as desired.
The compressor comes on if the vehicle's interior
temperature exceeds the selected temperature. The
selected temperature is then maintained by regulating the
compressor's running time.
Position 1 3 = Dehumidifying, the air conditioning
compressor is switched on.
The climate control system works at maximum capacity,
removing moisture from the air. This mode is recommend­
ed during humid weather and when windows must be
defogged from inside.
Position Q = Recirculated air (buttons
must not be pressed).
Recirculated air switch pressed:
• Cooling Mode
If the outside temperature exceeds approx. 15°C
(59 °F), the system will automatically change from re­
circulated air to fresh air after 30 minutes.
• Heating Mode
If the outside temperature is less than approx. 15°C
(59 °F), the system will automatically change from re­
circulated air to fresh air after 5 minutes.
This setting can also be used if annoying odors or dust
are entering the car's interior.
At high outside temperatures the air conditioning system
is automatically in the recirculated air mode, providing
increased cooling.
