Condensation on the windows
Condensation may form on the windows if they are colder than the ambient temperature and the air is humid. Cold air can absorb less
moisture than warm air, which is why condensation frequently forms on windows in cold weather.
1. In order to improve the heating and cooling output, keep the air intake in front of the windscreen free of ice, snow and leaves
(→ Vehicle care).
2. Keep the air slots in the rear area of the luggage compartment clear so that air can flow through the vehicle from the front to the
rear.
3. Switch on the defrost function (→ Defrost function).
The wrong unit of temperature has been set
You can change the unit of measurement for all temperature displays in the vehicle using the Infotainment system.
1. Open the Settings menu.
2. Select the Units menu option.
Water under the vehicle
If the humidity and temperature outside the vehicle are high, condensation can drip off the evaporator in the cooling system and form
a pool underneath the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak.
