The air conditioning is operational when the engine is running and the fan is on.
Press the n button, located on the ventilating and heating control panel to activate
the air conditioning. Set the fan position to 1, 2, 3, or 4 to begin air circulation. An
indicator light will illuminate on the button when the air conditioning is in use. Turn the
temperature control to the desired temperature.
Note
• To conserve fuel, switch off the air conditioner when it is not required.
• Once every two weeks, with the engine running, switch the air conditioner on for
ve to 10 minutes even in winter to lubricate seals.
Windscreen demisting
To demist the windscreen, air ows from the front demister outlets, with a small
amount owing from the side window demister outlets. To achieve this, move the air
selector to V, then select the air ow and air source required. If you require limited
demisting, set the air selector to 0. Air ows from the foot vents simultaneously, with
limited demisting.
Demisting can be accelerated in three ways: by the use of a higher air temperature,
increased airow or by activating the air conditioner

rear window.
• The rear window demister draws a high battery current. Unnecessary use of the
rear window demister will drain your vehicle’s battery.
