The air conditioning operates most effectively with the windows closed.
However, if the vehicle has heated up after standing in the sun for some
time, the air inside can be cooled more quickly by opening the windows
briefly.
Setting for conditions of optimal visibility
When the air conditioning is switched on, the temperature and the air hu-
midity in the vehicle interior drop. Hence, when the outside air humidity is
high, the windows do not mist over and comfort for the vehicle occupants is
improved:
● Disable air recirculation mode ⇒ p age 99.
● Set the fan to the required setting.
● Turn the temperature control to the centre position.
● Open and direct the air outlets in the dash panel ⇒ p age 99.
● Turn the air distribution control to the defrost position.
● Press the
button to turn on cooling. The lamp on the button will

The cooling system does not switch on
If the air conditioning system cannot be switched on, this may be caused by
the following:
● The engine is not running.
● The fan is switched off.
● The air conditioner fuse has blown.
● The outside temperature is lower than approximately +2 °C (+36 °F).
● The air conditioner compressor has been temporarily switched off be-
cause the engine coolant temperature is too high.
● Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air conditioner checked by a speci-
alised workshop.
