Climate control
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of the
windscreen free from obstruction (snow,
leaves etc.) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.
Recirculated air
CAUTION
Prolonged use of recirculated
air may cause the windows to
mist up. If the windows mist up, follow
the settings for defrosting and demisting
the windscreen.
The air currently in the passenger
compartment will be recirculated.
Outside air will not enter the vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.
Air conditioning
Note: The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 4ºC.
Note: If you use the air conditioning, the
fuel consumption of your vehicle will be
higher.
Air is directed through the evaporator
where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted
from the air to help keep the windows
free of mist. The resulting condensation
is directed to the outside of the vehicle
and it is therefore normal if you see a
small pool of water under your vehicle.
General information on
controlling the interior climate
Fully close all the windows.
Warming the interior
Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some
of the air towards the windscreen and
the door windows.
Cooling the interior
Direct the air towards your face.
