Air conditioning
When does the heated windscreen switch
off?
The heated windscreen switches off when
one of the following conditions is met:
●
Power consumption is too high.
●
The air conditioner fuse is faulty.
●
If the preset time has elapsed.
Troubleshooting
Cooling mode cannot be switched on or
operates in a limited way
The cooling mode works only with the en-
gine running and if the ambient temperature
is above +3 °C (+38 °F). When the engine is
very hot, the cooling mode is deactivated.
●
Switch on the fan.
●
Check the air conditioning fuse

If the fault continues, consult a specialised
workshop.
The heating and fresh air system cannot
be switched on or operates in a limited way
●
The heating and fresh air system and the
defrost function operate best when the en-
gine is hot.
●
If the fault continues, consult a specialised
workshop.
The windows are misted up
Windows mist up when they are cooler than
the ambient temperature and the air is very
damp. Cold air can absorb less moisture than
hot air, so the windows mist up more often in
cold weather.
●
The air vent in front of the windscreen
keeps it free of ice, snow and leaves, which
improves the performance of the heating
and cooling systems.
●
The air grooves located at the rear of the
luggage compartment must be kept clear to
allow the air to circulate through the vehicle
from front to back.

The temperature unit is not correct
Use the infotainment system to change the
units for all of the vehicle's temperature dis-
plays.
Water or water vapour under the vehicle
When the outside air is very humid and the
ambient temperature is high, condensation
may drip from the evaporator of the cooling
system, which can form a puddle under the
vehicle. This is completely normal and is no
indication of a leak.
If the outside air is very humid and the ambi-
ent temperature is low, the auxiliary heating
can evaporate the condensation. In this
case, steam may come out from under the
vehicle. This does not mean that the vehicle
has broken down.
