Air conditioning
The air conditioning cools and dehumidifies
incoming air as required.
When the lamp in the AC but-
ton illuminates, the air condi-
tioning is controlled by the sys-
tem's automatic function.
When the lamp in the AC but-
ton is switched off the air con-
ditioning is disconnected. Other functions are still
controlled automatically. When the max. defroster
function (p. 132) is activated, the air conditioning
is switched on automatically so that the air is
dehumidified at the maximum setting.
