Air conditioning system (manual air conditioning
system)

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Control elements
adjusting
Recirculated air mode
The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met.
The cooling system is switched on

The engine is running.

The outside temperature above approx. +2 °C.

The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-6).

If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the
cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to pro-
vide cooling at a high load of the engine.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of
■
the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
■
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Note
We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a specialist
garage once every year.
