Operation
Defrost/demist function
The air dr
awn in from outside the vehicle is di-
rected at the windscreen and air recirculation
is automatically switched off. To defrost the
windscreen more quickly, the air is dehumidi-
fied at temperatures over approximately
+3°C (+38°F) and the fan runs at maximum
output.
Windscreen heating
Press the button to connect and disconnect
the windscreen heating with the engine run-
ning.
Heated rear window
This only works when the engine is running
and switches off automatically after a maxi-
mum of 10 minutes.
It should be switched off as soon as the glass
is demisted. Lower electricity consumption
has a positive effect on energy consumption.
To avoid possible damage to the battery, an
automatic temporary disconnection of this
function is possible, coming back on when
normal operating conditions are re-establish-
ed.

Switching off
Press the lower button several times .
Climate control usage instructions
The interior cooling system only works when
the engine is running and f
an is switched on.
Economic use of the air conditioning
When the air conditioning is switched on, the
compressor consumes engine power and has
an influence on energy consumption.
The air conditioner operates most effectively
with the windows closed. However, if the pas-
senger compartment has become excessive-
ly hot due to being exposed to the sun, it will
cool down more quickly by opening the win-
dows for a moment.
The cooling system cannot be activated
If the air conditioning system cannot be
switched on, this may be caused by the fol-
lowing:
●
The engine is not running.
●
The fan is switched off.
●
The air conditioner fuse has blown.
●
The outside t
emperature is lower than ap-
proximately +3°C (+38°F).
●
The air conditioner compressor has been
temporarily switched off because the engine
coolant temperature is too high.
●
Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air
conditioner checked by a specialised work-
shop.
Special characteristics
If the humidity and temperature outside the
vehicle are high, condensation can drip off
the evaporator in the cooling system and
form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is
normal and does not indicate a leak!
Note
After starting the engine, any residual hu-
midit
y in the air conditioner could mist over
the windscreen. Switch on the defrost func-
tion as soon as possible to clear the wind-
screen of condensation.
Air vents
To ensure proper heating, cooling and venti-
l
ation in the vehicle interior, the air vents must
remain open.
●
With the fins of the diffusers you can open
and close the diffusers, as well as adjust the
direction in which you want the air to come
