at 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

thaw position, the recirculation flap will al-
ways be open (button light off).
If the rotary switch

is switched from any
position t
o the thaw position, recirculation
will be automatically deactivated.

In the thaw position of rotary switch

, the
entr

of
air into the vehicle interior is always
from the outside.
WARNING
In air recirculation mode, no cold air from the
outside ent
ers the vehicle interior. If the air
conditioner is switched off, the windows can
quickly mist over. Therefore, never leave the
air recirculation mode switched on for a long
time (risk of accident).
Note
●
When engagin
g reverse gear, the air recir-
culation is connected automatically to pre-
vent the entrance of exhaust gases in the ve-
hicle on travelling backwards. The control
lamp on the button
does not light up.
●
If the temperature control is turned to the
col
dest setting (blue point) and the
A/C
but-
ton is
on, the “Air recirculation” function is
automatically activated in order to cool the
vehicle faster using less energy, and its func-
tion control lamp will light up.
●
If the function is not deactivated by press-
ing the button, it will deactivate after approx-
imately 20 minutes.
