Air conditioning system
In addition to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has:
n
= cooling
4
= air recirculation
Ü
= demisting and defrosting
Cooling n
Operated with the n button and is
functional only when the engine and
fan are running.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) as soon as the
outside temperature is slightly above
freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from
under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows and sunroof
so that hot air can disperse quickly.
■

9 Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the air
humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up. The quality
of the passenger compartment air
deteriorates, which may cause the
vehicle occupants to feel drowsy.
Demisting and defrosting the
windows Ü
Operated with the Ü button.
