can escape quickly.
The airintakes in front of the windscreen on
the far right and left sides of the engine
compartment must be kept clear to allow
air intake. Remove any leaves,dirt or snow.
For consistently good operation, the air
conditioning compressor 3 must be
switched on for several minutes once per

not possible at low outside temperatures.
