Air intake
The a ir intak es in front of the windsc reen
in the engine comp artment must be kept
clear to allow air intake. Remove any
lea ves, d irt or snow.
Note
If the windscreen mists up during d amp
weather, tem pora rily set the system as
described under "Dem isting a nd defrosting
the windows" - see pag e 106.
Cooling functions most efficiently when the
wind ow s a re closed. If the p assenger
compartment has heated up considera bly
after a long period in direct sunlight, briefly
op en the wind ow s so that the hot air can
escape quickly.
When cooling (air conditioning
compressor) is switched on condensation
forms, which is expelled from the underside
of the vehic le.
At least one air vent must be open w hile
cooling (air conditioning comp ressor) is on,
in order to prevent the ev aporator from
icing up due to lack of air m ov ement.
At low outside temp eratures the c ooling
unit switches off automatically.
Maintenance
In order to ensure continuously efficient
performa nc e, the air conditioning
compressor must be operated for a few
minutes once a month, irrespectiv e of the
weather and time of yea r. Air conditioning
compressor operation is not possible when
outside temperatures a re low.
In the ev ent of a fault, consult a workshop.
