A/C
button (the button light
turns
off).
–
Turn the temperature selector
A
to set the
desir
ed temperature inside the vehicle.
–
Turn the blower switch to any of the set-
tings 1-4.
–
Set the air distribution control
C
to the air

onfigur
ation desired:
(towards the

s
creen),
(towards the chest),
(towards the footwell) and
(towards the
w
ind
s
creen and footwell areas).
Interior cooling
–
Turn off the cooling system using the
A/C
button (the button light turns on).
–
Turn the temperature control switch until
the de
s
ir
ed interior temperature is reached.
–
Turn the blower switch to any of the set-
tings 1-4.
–
Set the air distribution control to the air
flow configuration desired:
(towards the
w
ind
s

(towards the chest),
(towards the footwell) and
(towards the
w
ind
s
creen and footwell areas).
Heating
Maximum heat output, which is needed to
defrost the windows quickly, is only available
when the engine has reached its operating
temperature.
Coolant system
When the air conditioning is switched on, the
temperature and the air humidity go down.
This way, if the outside humidity is extreme,
the air conditioning prevents the misting of
the windows and therefore, comfort is im-
proved.
If the air conditioning does not work, this
may be due to the following reasons:
●
The engine is stationary.
●
The fan blower is switched off.
●
The outside temperature is lower than ap-
proximately +3°C (+37°F).
●
The air conditioning system compressor
has been temporarily switched off because of
an increased engine coolant temperature.
●
The air conditioner fuse is faulty.
●
Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air
conditioning checked by a specialised work-
shop.
Air recirculation
Air recirculation prevents unpleasant smells,
e.g. when pa
ssing through a tunnel or in
queuing traffic, from entering the interior.
If the rotary switch

s in the
thaw position, the recirculation flap will al-
ways be open (button light off).
If the rotary switch
C
is switched from any
position t
o the thaw position, recirculation
will be automatically deactivated.
Connecting the recirculation
In any position of rotary switch

lation inside the vehicle has been activated.
Disconnecting the recirculation

tion from the outside has been activated.
In the thaw position of rotary switch

, the
entr
y
of
air into the vehicle interior is always
from the outside.
