Operation

ꢀ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

The air conditioner works only when the ignition is switched on. The cooling system for the passenger

compartment works only when the engine is running and the fan is on.

The air conditioner is most efficient when the windows and the power sunroof are closed. If the vehicle

is not moving and the passenger compartment becomes very hot due to sunlight, briefly opening the

windows and the power sunroof may speed up the cooling process.

Keep the air intake slots in front of the windshield free of ice, snow and leaves so that the heating and

ventilation systems can work properly.

Settings for optimum visibility

When you switch on the cooling system, both the temperature and humidity in the vehicle are reduced.

This will help make passengers feel more comfortable and help keep the windows from fogging up.
