Activating/deactivating cooling with
air dehumidification
General notes
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehu-
midification" function, the air inside the vehi-
cle will not be cooled. The air inside the vehi-
cle will also not be dehumidified. The win-
dows can fog up more quickly. Therefore, only
deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehumidifi-
cation" function briefly.
The "Cooling with air-dehumidification" func-
tion is operational when the vehicle is ready
to drive. The air inside the vehicle is cooled
and dehumidified according to the tempera-
ture selected.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when it is in cooling mode. This is
normal and not a sign that there is a malfunc-
tion.
