The air conditioner heats, cools and dehumidifies the air inside the vehicle. It operates most effectively with the windows closed. If the vehicle has been standing in the sun, it may cool down faster if you open the windows briefly to let the hot air escape.
The pollution filter removes impurities, such as dust and pollen, from the air.
For the sake of the environment
If you wish to save fuel, switch off the cooling mode on the air conditioner by pressing the A/C button in the rotary control -2-. This will also reduce emissions.
Note
- Keep the air intake slots in front of the windscreen clear of snow, ice and leaves to ensure unimpaired heating and cooling, and to prevent the windows misting over.
- Condensation can drip off the air cooling system and form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak.
- If you notice, for instance, that the seat* or rear window heating is not working, it may have been temporarily switched off by the power management function. These systems will be available again as soon as sufficient electrical power is available.
