Recommendationsforventilationandairconditioning

Ifafteranextendedstopinsunshine,

theinteriortemperatureisveryhigh,first

ventilatethepassengercompartmentfor

afewmoments.

Puttheairflowcontrolatasettinghigh

enoughtoquicklychangetheairinthe

passengercompartment.

Theairconditioningsystemdoesnot

contain chlorine and does not present

anydangertotheozonelayer.

The condensation created by the air

conditioningresultsinadischarge

of water under the vehicle which is

perfectlynormal.

Whentowingthemaximumloadonasteepgradientinhightemperatures,switchingoffthe

airconditioningincreasestheavailableenginepowerandsoimprovesthetowingability.

Stop & Start

Theheatingandairconditioning

systemsonlyworkwhentheengineis

running.

To maintain a comfortable temperature

inthepassengercompartment,youcan

temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start

system.
