Troubleshooting
The cooling system cannot be switched on
or its operation is limited
If the air conditioning system cannot be
switched on, this may be caused by the follow-
ing:
●
The engine is not running.
●
The fan is switched o.
●
The air conditioner fuse has blown.
●
The outside temperature is lower than ap-
proximately +3°C (+38°F).
●
The air conditioner compressor has been
temporarily switched o because the engine
coolant temperature is too high.
●
Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air
conditioner checked by a specialised work-
shop.
The heating and fresh air system cannot be
switched on or operates in a limited way
●
The heating and fresh air system and the de-
frost function operate best when the engine 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.
●
Switch on the demist function.
Change the temperature unit (Climatronic)
The temperature display can be changed from
Celsius to Fahrenheit on the Infotainment sys-
tem screen using the function button > Set-
tings > Units.
Water or water vapour under the vehicle
If the humidity and temperature outside the
vehicle are high, condensation can drip o
the evaporator in the cooling system and form
a pool underneath the vehicle. This is normal
and does not indicate a leak!
Note
After starting the engine, any residual hu-
midity in the air conditioner could mist over
the windscreen. Switch on the defrost func-
tion as soon as possible to clear the wind-
screen of condensation.
