Air conditioning system (manual air conditioning system)


Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
Setting the air conditioning system
Recirculated air mode
The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met.
The cooling system is switched on

The engine is running.

The outside temperature is above approximately +2 °C.

The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-4).

If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the
cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to
ensure that the engine cools down.
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 get-
ting 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 spe-
■
cialist garage once every year.
During operation of the air conditioning, an increase in engine idle speed may
■
occur under certain circumstances in order to ensure sufficient heating com-
fort.
