Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Air outlet vents
Using the air conditioning system economically
Operational problems
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in
the vehicle. The cooling system prevents the windows from misting up during
winter months.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling ef-
fect.
Please refer to the information regarding the recalculated air mode for air-condi-
tioning » page 59.
WARNING
For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the windows
are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize yourself about how to cor-
rectly operate the heating and ventilation systems, how to demist and defrost
the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.
CAUTION
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves to
■
ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air con-
■
ditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is quite normal
and not an indication of a leak!
Note
The used air streams out through the vents in the luggage compartment.
■
We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating air
■
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the in-
terior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of the air conditioning sys-
tem. This produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning system is oper-
ating which can only be eliminated through considerable effort and expense (re-
placement of compressor).
