Air conditioner

Air supply

You can select blower speeds
from 1 to 4. The heating and
ventilation become more and
more effective as the air

supply settings are increased. In posi-
tion 0, the fan and the heater are
switched off. By using position 0, you
can totally block the air supply by
pressing the button for the recirculated-
air mode.

Temperature

In order to increase the
temperature of the passenger
compartment, turn it to the
right (red). Temperature regu-

lation will keep the interior temperature
you have selected constant.

Air distribution

You can direct air to flow onto
the windows

, toward the

upper body

and into the

footwell

. You can also

make all intermediate settings. In the

setting, there is a low flow of air onto

the windows to keep them free of
condensation. The "6 o'clock" setting is
recommended as a normal setting (refer
also to the illustration and overview on
page

Rear window defroster

When the rear window defroster
is activated, the indicator lamp

comes on. The rear window defroster
switches off automatically. Refer to
page

Air conditioner

The air is cooled and dehumidi-
fied and – depending on the

temperature setting – rewarmed when
the air conditioner system is switched
on. Depending on the weather, the
windshield may fog over briefly when
the engine is started.
Use the button to switch the air condi-
tioner off at outside temperatures
below approx. 41 7(+5 6). This will
help to prevent the windows from
fogging up.
If the windows fog over after switching
the air conditioner off, switch it back
on.

Condensation forms in the air
conditioner system during opera-

tion, which then exits under the vehicle.
Traces of condensed water of this kind
are thus normal.

Recirculated-air mode

You can respond to unpleasant
external odors by temporarily

blocking the outside air. The system
then recirculates the air already within
the vehicle.

If the windows fog over in the
recirculated air mode, switch this

mode off and increase the air supply as
required.
