Introduction

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
Setting the air conditioning system
Recirculated air mode
The cooling system only operates if the button
pressed, and the following conditions are met:
›
engine running;
›
outside temperature above approx. +2 °C;
›
blower switch switched on (positions 1 to 4).
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 distribu-
tion of the air flow out of the vents and large differences in temperature, for ex-
ample when getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Note
We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a specialist
garage once every year.
