WARNING
For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the win-
■
dows are free of ice, snow and misting. The blower should always be on to
prevent the windows from misting up.
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
■
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
CAUTION
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. 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
■
conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to
■
ensure that the engine cools down.
