Climate control usage instructions
The interior cooling system only works when
the engine is running and fan is switched on.
Economic use of the air conditioning
When the air conditioning is switched on,
the compressor consumes engine power
and has influence on fuel consumption.
The air conditioner operates most effectively
with the windows and the panoramic sliding
sunroof closed. However, if the vehicle has
heated up after standing in the sun for some
time, the air inside can be cooled more
quickly by opening the windows and the
panoramic sliding sunroof briefly.
Change the temperature units
The temperature display can be changed
from Celsius to Fahrenheit on the screen of
the Infotainment system using the Infotain-
ment button
 > Settings > Units
.
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 temperature is lower than ap-
proxi3°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!
