and cold
Using the previously recommended setting is the quickest way to
achieve a comfortable climate in the vehicle. This setting should
therefore only be changed when personal comfort levels or certain
circumstances require it.
The climate controls are a combination of automatic heating and
ventilation systems and a cooling system which dehumidifies and
cools the air inside the vehicle.
The climate controls automatically maintain a temperature
once it
has been set. The temperature
of the air from the vents, fan speed
(air volume) and air distribution are also automatically adjusted . The
system also takes into account strong sunshine so that manual
adjustment is not necessary . So in almost all cases,
automatic mode
offers the best conditions for the comfort of the occupants at all
times of the year ~ page 82.
Please note:
In cooling mode, relative humidity in the interior is reduced . This
prevents the windows from fogging up.
When relative humidity and temperatures
outside are high ,
conden-
sate
can drip from the air conditioning evaporator and form a pool of
water under the vehicle. This is normal and not an indication of a leak!
When outside tempe ratures are low, the fan does not switch to a
higher speed until the coolant has reached an adequate temperature,
with the exception of the defrost setting .
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 extreme engine loads, the
compressor is swi t ched off if coolant temperatures
climb t oo high .
Functions are set by turning the rotary knob or switched on and off by
tapping the buttons. The LED in the buttons illuminates when the
function is active .
