Flexible storage compartment

 Introduction

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

Air outlets

Using the air conditioning system economically

Operational problems

The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat

output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.

 Read and observe on page 80 first.

If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in

the vehicle. The cooling system prevents the windows from misting up when

outside temperatures are particularly low.

The flexible storage compartment » Fig. 93 can be fitted to the right-hand side

of the luggage compartment.

Fitting

It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling

effect.

Insert both ends of the flexible storage compartment into the openings of

the right side trim panel of the boot and push it downwards until it locks.

›

Please refer to the information regarding recirculated air mode for the air-con-

ditioning system » page 89 or for Climatronic » page 91.

Removing

Grasp the flexible storage compartment on the two upper corners.

Press the upper corners inwards and release the storage compartment by

pulling upwards.

WARNING

For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the win-

dows are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize yourself about

how to correctly operate the heating and ventilation systems, how to de-

mist and defrost the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.

Remove by pulling towards you.

CAUTION

The storage compartment is designed for storing small objects with a maxi-

mum total weight of 8 kg.

CAUTION

Note

■

The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or

leaves) to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.

After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air

If the variable loading floor » page 72 is installed in the luggage compartment,

no flexible storage compartment can be installed.

conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a

leak.

Using the system

Close air outlet vents 3 and 4

Note

Turn the vertical wheel (air vents 3) » Fig. 94 or the horizontal wheel (air out-

let nozzles 4) to the 0 position.

■

The exhaust air streams out through vents at the rear of the luggage com-

partment.

We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating

Change air flow of air outlet vents 3 and 4

In order to change the strength of the air flow, swivel the horizontal lamellas

with the aid of the moveable adjuster » Fig. 94.

In order to change the lateral direction of the air flow, swivel the vertical la-

air mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from

the interior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of the air condition-

ing system. This produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning sys-

tem is operating which can only be eliminated through considerable effort and

expense (replacement of compressor).

Air outlets

Note

Do not cover the air outlet vents with objects of any kind.

Using the air conditioning system economically

 Read and observe and on page 84 first.

The air conditioning system compressor uses power from the engine when in

cooling mode, which will affect the fuel consumption.

It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the

interior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order

to allow the heated air to escape.

The cooling system should not be switched on if the windows are open.

For the sake of the environment

Pollutant emissions are also lower when fuel is being saved » page 109.

 Read and observe and on page 84 first.

Warmed, not warmed fresh or cooled air will flow out of the opened air outlet

vents according to the setting of the control and the outside atmospheric con-

ditions.

Operational problems

 Read and observe and on page 84 first.

The direction of airflow can be adjusted using the air outlet vents 3 and

4 » Fig. 94 and the outlets can also be opened and closed individually.

If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5

°C, there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be.

One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessa-

ry » page 168.

The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because

the coolant temperature of the engine is too hot » page 27.
