The air conditioning automatically maintains the selected
temperature in the vehicleinterior throughout each
season.
Fig. 78 Climate controls
We recommend the following setting:
Rotate the knob=> fig. 78 @ to the right to switch on the
air conditioning.
Set the temperature to 72 °F (22 °Cl.
Press the !AUTO ]=> fig. 78 button.
Using the previously recommended setting is the quickest way to
achieve a comfortable climate in the vehicle. This setting should
therefore only be changed when personal comfort levels or certain
circumstances require it.
The climate controls are a combination of automatic heating and
ventilation systems and a cooling system which dehumidifies and
cools the air inside the vehicle.
The climate controls automatically maintain 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 also takes into account strong sunshine so that manual
adjustment is not necessary. So in almost all cases,
automatic mode
offers the best conditions for the comfort of the occupants at all
times of the year ~

Please note:
In cooling mode, relative humidity in the interior is reduced. This
prevents the windows from fogging up.
When relative humidity and temperatures outside are high,
conden-
sate
can drip from the air conditioning evaporator and form a pool
of water under the vehicle. This is normal and not an indication of a
leak!
When outside temperatures are low, the fan does not switch to a
higher speed until the coolant has reached an adequate tempera-
ture, with the exception of the defrost setting.
When accelerating at wide-open throttle, the air conditioning
compressor is temporarily switched off to maintain full engine
power.
In order to ensure engine cooling under extreme engine loads, the
compressor is switched off if coolant temperatures climb too high. _,,,
