swivelling the slats.

9 Warning

The air intake in front of the

windscreen in the engine

compartment must be kept clear to

allow air intake. Remove any leaves,

dirt or snow.

Do not attach any objects to the

slats of the air vents. Risk of

damage and injury in case of an

Air conditioning regular

operation

In order to ensure continuously

efficient performance, cooling must

be operated for a few minutes once a

month, irrespective of the weather

and time of year. Operation with

cooling is not possible when the

outside temperature is too low.

Service

For optimal cooling performance, it is

recommended to annually check the

climate control system, starting

three years after initial vehicle

registration, including:

●

functionality and pressure test

heating functionality

leakage check

check of drive belts

cleaning of condenser and

evaporator drainage

●

performance check
