Polle n filter

General information
If the windsc reen m ists up during dam p
weather, set a utoma tic air cond itioning as
desc ribed in " Window d emisting and de-
icing" – see page 156.
The electronic air conditioning system
functions most efficiently when the
windows and sun roof 3 are closed. If the
passenger compartment ha s heated up
consid erably after a long period in direct
sunlight, briefly open the windows and sun
roof 3 so that the heated air can quickly
esca pe.
For trouble-free operation of the electronic
air conditioning sy stem, d o not c ov er over
the sensor between the air vents in front of
the wind screen.
When the cooling (cooling compressor) is
active, c ondensate will form and will be
released from the underside of the vehicle.
Mainte nance
In order to ensure continuously efficient
performa nc e of the electronic a ir
conditioning system it must be switched on
once a month for a few minutes,
irrespective of the weather and time of
y ear, with the cooling (cooling compressor)
operational.
If a fault oc curs in the electronic air
conditioning sy stem, consult a workshop.
We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer. The system's integ ra ted self-
diag nostics allow s faults to be quickly
remedied.
