Driving Tips

engine running,

outside temperature above approx. +2 °C and

blower switch switched on (positions 1 to 4).
Air at a temperature of about 5 °C may flow out of the vents under certain circum-
stances when the cooling system is operating. Lengthy and uneven distribution of
the air flow out of the vents and large differences in temperature, for example when
getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Note

We recommend you have a specialist garage clean the air-conditioning system
once every year.
