WARNING
The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.

Note
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.

leak!
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to

ensure that the engine cools down.
