General information
If the windscreen m ists up during damp
weather, set the automatic a ir conditioning
system as described in "Window d emisting
and de-icing"; see pa ge 130.
The electronic air conditioning system
func tions most efficiently when the
windows and sun roof
3 are closed . If the
passenger com partment has hea ted up
considerably after a long p eriod in direct
sunlight, briefly op en the windows a nd sun
roof

escape.
To ensure correct operation, the openings
for the sensors in the control cluster for the
electronic air conditioning system and
between the air outlets in front of the
windscreen must not be obstructed.
When the elec tronic air c onditioning
system is switched on, cond ensa tion will
form and w ill issue from the underside of
the v ehicle.
