Air recirculation ⇒ page 141.
Setting for conditions of optimal visibility
● Disable air recirculation mode.
● Set the fan
2
to setting 1 or 2.
● Turn the temperature control
1
to the desired position.
● Open and direct all the air outlets in the dash panel.
● Turn the air distribution control
3
to the desired position.
WARNING
Stuffy or used air will increase fatigue and reduce driver concentration
possibly resulting in a serious accident.
● Never leave the fresh air fan turned off or use the air recirculation for
long periods of time; the air in the vehicle interior will not be refreshed.
Instructions for use of the air conditioner
The interior cooling system only works when the engine is running and fan
is switched on.
The air conditioner operates most effectively with the windows and the pan-
oramic sliding sunroof closed. However, if the vehicle has heated up after
standing in the sun for some time, the air inside can be cooled more quickly
by opening the windows and the panoramic sliding sunroof briefly.
Setting for conditions of optimal visibility
When the air conditioning is switched on, the temperature and the air hu-
midity in the vehicle interior drop. Hence, when the outside air humidity is
high, the windows do not mist over and comfort for the vehicle occupants is
improved:
With manual air conditioning
● Switch off air recirculation.
● Set the fan to the required setting.
● Turn the temperature control to the centre position.
● Open and direct all the air outlets in the dash panel.
