Safety first
W ar m and cold
The climate controls are a combination of heating, ventilation and
coo ling systems, which automatically red uce humidity and cool the
air inside your vehicle .
The climate control automatically maintains a temperature once it
has been set. The temperature of the air from the vents, fan speed
(air volume) and air distribution are also automatically adjusted. The
system a lso takes into account strong sunsh ine so that man ual
adjustment is not necessary. So in almost all cases,
automa t ic mo de
offers the best condit ions for the comfort of the occupants at all
times of the year~

Please note the following:
Turn on the a ir cond itioner to reduce humidity in the vehicle. This also
prevents the windows from fogging up.
When the outside temperature is high and the air is very humid,
conde nsati on from the evaporator may drip under the vehicle. This is
normal and does not indicate a leak .
If the outside temperature is low, the fan normally only switches to a
higher speed once the engine coolant has warmed up sufficiently.
The air conditioner temporari ly switches off when you drive off from
a standstill using full throttle to save engine power.
The compressor also switches off if the coolant temperature is too
high, so that the engine can be adequately cooled under extreme
loads.
Du st a nd p o llen filt e r
The dust and pollen filter (a combined particle fi lter and activated
charcoal filter) reduces or prevents outside a ir po llution (dust, or
pollen) from entering the vehicle.
The dust and pollen filter must be changed at the intervals spec ified
in your Maintenance booklet, so that the air conditioner can properly
work.
If you drive your vehicle in an area with a high degree of air pollution,
the filter may need to be changed more frequently than specified in .,.
