Using the previously recommended setting is
the quickest way to achieve a comfortable cli-
mate in the vehicle . This setting should there-
fore only be changed when personal comfort
leve ls or certain circumstances requi re it .
The climate controls are a combination of au -
tomatic heating and ventilation systems and a
coo ling system which dehumidifies and coo ls
the air ins ide the veh icle.
The climate controls automatically maintain a
temperature once it has been set . The tem-
perat ure of the air from the vents, fan speed
(air volume) and air distribution are also auto-
matically adjusted . The system also takes into
account strong sunshine so that manua l ad-
justment is not necessary. So in almost all
cases,
automatic mode
offers the best cond i-
tions for the comfort of the occupants at all
times of the year ¢

Please note :
In cooling mode , relative humidity in the inte-
rior is reduced . This prevents the windows
from fogg ing up.
When relative hum idity and temperatures
outside are high ,
condensate
can drip from
the a ir condition ing evaporator and form a
pool of water under the vehicle. This is normal
and not an ind ication of a leak!
When outside temperatures are low, the fan
does not switch to a higher speed until the
coolant has reached an adequate tempera -
tu re, with the exception of the defrost set-
t ing.
When accelerating at wide-open throttle, the
air conditioning compressor is temporarily
switched off to maintain full engine power .
In order to ensure engine cooling under ex-
treme engine loads, the compressor is switch-
ed off if coolant temperatures climb too high.
Funct ions are set by turning the rotary knob
or switched on and off by tapp ing the buttons. II>
