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.
•
If the cooling system has not been switched on for a lengthy period, odours may
be produced at the evaporator because of deposits. Switch the cooling system on
at least once a month for approximately 5 minutes at the highest blower stage -
also during the cold season of the year - in order to remove such odours. Also open
a window for a short time.
•
Please refer to the information regarding recirculated air mode  page 72.
