Air conditioning
only available when the engine has reached
its normal running temper
ature.
●
Keep the air intake slots in front of the
windscreen free of snow, ice and leaves to
ensure heating and cooling are not im-
paired, and to prevent the windows from
misting over.
●
The air from the vents flows through the
vehicle interior and is extracted by slots in
the luggage compartment designed for this
purpose. Therefore, you should avoid ob-
structing these slots with any kind of ob-
ject.
●
Do not smoke while air recirculation
mode is on, as smoke drawn into the air
conditioning system leaves residue on the
evaporator, producing a permanent un-
pleasant odour.
●
It is advisable to turn on the air condi-
tioning at least once a month, to lubricate
the system gaskets and prevent leaks. If a
decrease in the cooling capacity is detec-
ted, a Technical Service should be consul-
ted to check the system.
●
When the engine is under extreme strain,
switch off the compressor for a moment.
