VENTILATION ꢀ AIR CONDITIONING
Air inlet
Air conditioning
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, at the
bottom of the windscreen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
Whatever the time of year, even in cool weather the
air conditioning is useful in removing humidity and
misting.
If washing the vehicle with a high pressure jet, avoid
targeting the air inlet zone.
To keep the air conditioning compressor well sealed, it
is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once
in every month.
Air vents
The air vents to the face (except the central air vent) have
grilles for orienting the flow of air (up-down, right-left).
To be effective, the air conditioning should only be used
with the windows closed.
If you are towing a heavy trailer and outside temperaꢀ
tures are high, the air conditioning may be temporarily
paused if the engine cooling requires this.
Air circulation
For your comfort we advise you to maintain a proper
distribution of air within the cabin, both at the front and
at the rear.
Air outlets are also located on the central console
close to the gear lever, to enhance comfort for the rear
Water arising from condensation in the air conditioning
system is evacuated through a hole provided for this
purpose; a pool of water may thus form underneath the
vehicle when stationary.
You are advised to have the air conditioning system
checked on a regular basis. See "Maintenance Guide".
III
The air conditioning operates by using power from
the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel
consumption.

This filter has to be changed according to the vehicle
maintenance schedule. See "Maintenance Guide".
