Air conditioning
available when the engine has reached its
normal running temperature
.
Keep the air intake slots in front of the
windscreen free of snow, ice and leaves to
ensure heating and cooling are not im-
paired, and to prevent the windows from
misting over.
The air from the vents flows through the
vehicle interior and is extracted by slots in
the luggage compartment designed for this
purpose. Therefore
, you should avoid ob-
structing these slots with any kind of ob-
ject.
Do not smoke while air recirculation
mode is on, as smoke drawn into the air
conditioning system leaves residue on the
evaporator, producing a permanent un-
pleasant odour.
It is advisable to turn on the air condition-
ing at least once a month, t
o lubricate the
system gaskets and prevent leaks. If a de-
crease in the cooling capacity is detected,
a Technical Service should be consulted to
check the system.
When the engine is under extreme strain,
switch off the compressor for a moment.
