WARNING
If you deactivate the cooling with air-dehu-
midification function, the air inside the vehicle
will not be cooled or dehumidified. The win-
dows can mist up more quickly. This may pre-
vent you from observing the traffic conditions,
thereby causing an accident.
! Switch cooling on for at least ten minutes
every month. Otherwise, the air-condition-
ing system could be damaged.

The "Cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is only available when the engine is run-
ning.
When cooling is switched on, the air inside the
vehicle is cooled and dehumidified.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when cooling mode is active. This
is normal and not a sign that there is a mal-
function.
