Activating/deactivating cooling with
air dehumidification
General notes
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air dehumid-
ification" function, the air inside the vehicle will
not be cooled during warm weather. The air
inside the vehicle will also not be dehumidified.
The windows can mist up more quickly. There-
fore, only deactivate the "Cooling with air dehu-
midification" function briefly.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" function
is available only when the engine is running. The
air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehumidified
according to the temperature selected.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when cooling mode is active. This is
normal and not a sign that there is a malfunc-
tion.
