© Tips
- To prevent int erference with the heat ing
and cooling output and to prevent the win-
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshie ld must be free of ice,
snow or leaves.
- Condensation from the cooling system* can
drip and form a pudd le of water under the
vehicle . This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak.
- The energy management system may tem -
porarily switc h off certain functions, such as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger.
These systems are ava ilable again as soon
as the energy supply has been restored.
