The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in order
to ensure that the heating and ventilation systems operate properly.
All controls apart from the control dial
position.
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
The blower should aways be on to prevent the windows from misting up.
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time,
as "stale" air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your
attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci-
dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.
Note
If the air distribution is positioned towards the windows, the total amount of air
is used to defrost the windows and thus no 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.
Have the air conditioning system cleaned by a specialist workshop.
