Heating and air conditioning system ›
Switching on the cooling system prevents the win-
dows from misting up.
After pressing the
button, the indicator light
in the button illuminates, even if the conditions for
switching on the cooling system are not met. The
cooling system switches on when the conditions for
switching on the cooling system are met.
Automatic switching on of the cooling system
The cooling system switches on automatically to
stop the windows from fogging up. The system
switches on in the following cases.
When the fan is on and the air distribution control-
▶
ler is in the
position.
In this case, the recirculation mode is switched off.
When the air distribution controller is not in the
▶
position, and recirculated air mode is switched on.
Recirculated air mode
The recirculation mode prevents contaminated out-
side air getting into the interior of the vehicle.
Switching recirculation mode on briefly can increase
the cooling effect.
Circulating air mode may be switched on or off
automatically under certain circumstances.
When the air conditioner is operating, the engine
idle speed may increase automatically.
Troubleshooting
Water under the vehicle
When the cooling system is switched on, water can
drip off the air conditioning system. This is not a leak.
Fogging
›
Increase the blower speed, switch on the cooling
system, and set the air distribution to the wind-
screen.
Automatic switch-off of the cooling system
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling
system may switch off automatically. This ensures
sufficient engine cooling.

Keep the recirculation mode switched on for a
▶
short time only.
