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.
The heating effect depends on the coolant temperature. The full heating effect
does not kick in until the engine is run in.
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 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.
