Air conditioning

121

If a temperature below 18° C (64° F) is selected, the display switches to LO. In

this setting the system runs at maximum cooling output and the temperature

is not regulated.

Air recirculation mode prevents strong odours in the ambient air from

entering the vehicle interior, for example when passing through a tunnel or in

queuing traffic.

If a temperature above 29°C (86 F) is selected the display switches to HI. In

this setting the system runs at maximum heating output and the temperature

is not controlled.

When the outside temperature is low, using air recirculation mode provides

more effective heating by heating air from the vehicle interior instead of cold

air from outside.

When the outside temperature is high, using air recirculation mode provides

more effective cooling by cooling air from the vehicle interior instead of warm

air from outside.

The pollution filter

The pollution filter (a combined particle filter and active carbon filter) serves

as a barrier against impurities in the ambient air, including dust and pollen.

Note

•

If the humidity and temperature outside the vehicle are high, condensa-

tion can drip off the evaporator in the cooling system and form a pool under-

neath the vehicle, this is completely normal and there is no need to suspect

a leak.

•

Keep the air intake slots in front of the windscreen free of snow, ice and

leaves to ensure heating and cooling is not impaired, and to prevent the

windows misting over.

•

The air from the vents flows through the passenger compartment and is

extracted by slots designed for this purpose. Do not cover these slots with

articles of clothing or other objects.

•

The air conditioning system operates most effectively with the windows

and the sliding/tilting roof* closed. However, if the sun has heated up the

vehicle, the air inside can be cooled more quickly by opening the windows for

a short period.

•

Do not smoke while air recirculation mode is on, as smoke drawn into the

air conditioning system leaves a residue on the evaporator, producing a

permanent unpleasant odour.
