If the air conditioner is switched off, the fresh outside air will not be dehumidified. To
help keep the windows from fogging over, Volkswagen recommends leaving the air
conditioner (compressor) switched on. Press the button. The indicator light in the
button must light up.
When it is very hot and humid outside, water condensation can drip from the air
conditioner evaporator and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is normal and does not
indicate a leak.
If you think the air conditioner is not working properly or may
be damaged, switch it off to help prevent more damage. Have
the air conditioner checked by an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Air conditioner repair requires specialized knowledge and
special tools. Volkswagen recommends that you see an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility.
Do not smoke when air recirculation is switched on. Smoke
drawn into the ventilation system can leave residue on the
evaporator and on the dust and pollen active carbon filter,
resulting in permanent odors whenever the air conditioner is
switched on.
