Climate control
Warming the interior
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Outside air
Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some
of the air towards the windscreen and the
door windows.
Keep the air intakes forward of the
windscreen free from obstruction (snow,
leaves etc.) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.
Cooling the interior
Direct the air towards your face.
Recirculated air
CAUTION
AIR VENTS
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to mist up. If the
windows mist up, follow the settings
for defrosting and demisting the
windscreen.
The air currently in the passenger
compartment will be recirculated. Outside
air will not enter the vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.

Air conditioning
Note: The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 4ºC
(39ºF).
Note: If you use the air conditioning, the
fuel consumption of your vehicle will be
higher.
Air is directed through the evaporator
where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted
from the air to help keep the windows free
of mist. The resulting condensation is
directed to the outside of the vehicle and
it is therefore normal if you see a small
pool of water under your vehicle.
