Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning144

Climatic*

Control switches

The climatic or semi-automatic air conditioning system only works

when the engine is running and the turbine is switched on.

– Using the controls ⇒ fig. 108 and and the control you

can set the temperature, air distribution and the turbine speed.

– To switch a function on or off, press the appropriate button ,

or . When the function is activated, the display window in

the lower corner of the button is lit.

Temperature selector ⇒ page 145

Button – Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system on/off

⇒ page 145

Button – Rear window heating. The heating will be switched off auto-

matically approximately 20 minutes after switching on. It can also be

switched off beforehand by pushing the button.

Button – Air recirculation mode ⇒ page 146

Air distribution control ⇒ page 145

Blower switch. There are four speed settings for the air flow. The air flow

should always be set at the lowest speed when driving slowly.

WARNING

For road safety all windows must be clear of ice, snow, and condensation.

This is essential to ensure good visibility. Please familiarise yourself with

the correct operation of the heating and ventilation system, including the

anti-fog/defrost functions for the windscreens.

Heating and cooling the interior

Interior heating

– Turn the temperature selector ⇒ fig. 109 clockwise to select

the required temperature.

– Turn the blower switch to one of the settings 1-4.

– Set the air distribution control to the air flow configuration

desired: (towards the windscreen), (towards the chest),

(towards the footwell) and (towards the windscreen and

footwell areas).

Interior cooling

– Switch on the air conditioning using the button ⇒ page 144,

fig. 108 .

– Turn the temperature selector anti-clockwise until the desired

cooling output is reached.

– Turn the blower switch to one of the settings 1-4.

– Use the air distribution control to guide the flow of air in the

required direction: (to the windscreen), (to the upper

body), (to the foot well) and (to the windscreen and to the

foot well).

Heating

Maximum heat output, which is needed to defrost the windows quickly, is

only available when the engine has reached its operating temperature.

Air conditioner

When the air conditioning system is switched on, not only the temperature,

but also the air humidity in the vehicle interior is reduced. This improves

comfort for the vehicle occupants and prevents misting of the windows when

the ambient air humidity is high.

If the air conditioning system cannot be switched on this may be caused by

the following reasons:

• The engine may not be running.

• The blower is switched off.

• The outside temperature is below +3°C.

• The air conditioning system compressor has been temporarily switched

off because the engine coolant temperature is too high.

• The air conditioning fuse is faulty.

• Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air conditioning checked by a qual-

ified workshop.

Air recirculation mode

Air recirculation mode prevents fumes or unpleasant smells from coming from the outside.

Safety First Operating instructions Practical tips Technical Data

Air recirculation mode ⇒ page 146, fig. 110 prevents strong odours in

the outside air from entering the vehicle interior, for example when passing

through a tunnel or in queuing traffic.

With low temperatures outside, the air recirculation increases the effective-

ness of the heating system by warming the air inside the passenger compart-

ment rather than the cold air from outside.

With high ambient temperatures, the air recirculation increases the effective-

ness of the air conditioning system by cooling the air inside the passenger

compartment rather than the ambient air.

If the windscreen air output is on and the air recirculation mode is pressed,

this remains active. When the recirculation mode is on, if the air distribution

towards the windscreen mode is selected, the recirculation mode is deacti-

vated. For safety reasons, the air recirculation mode should not be

connected.

WARNING

In air recirculation mode, no cold air from the outside enters the vehicle

interior. If the air conditioning system is switched off, the windows can

quickly mist over. Therefore, never leave the air recirculation mode

switched on for a long time (risk of accident).
