Safety First Operating instructions Practical tips Technical Data

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

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

ment rather than the air from outside.

Air distribution

Control for setting the flow of air in the required direction.

 – Air distribution towards the windscreen. 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 deactivated. For safety reasons, the air

recirculation mode should not be connected.

 – Air distribution to the upper body.

 – Air distribution to footwell

 – Air distribution to the windscreen and the foot well.

Blower

The air flow can be set at four speeds with the control . 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 condensa-

tion. 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.

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

interior. The windows can quickly fog over if the heating is switched off.

Therefore, never leave the air recirculation mode switched on for a long

time (risk of accident).

Note

Please observe the general notes ⇒ page 152.
