Operating Tips
• Continuous use of the air
recirculation in winter, in rainy
weather or humid climate is not
recommended because it may cause
window fogging.
• Interior fogging on the windshield
can be quickly removed by fast
defrosting/demisting. The "Mix"
mode can be used to maintain a clear
windshield and provide sufficient
heating. If side window fogging
becomes a problem increase blower
speed.
NOTE:
• Recirculation mode without A/C
should not be used for long periods
of time, as fogging may occur.
• If inside the passenger compartment
there are conditions of high
temperature and humidity, when the
A/C compressor is switched on ("A/C"
soft-key illuminated on MIA display)
there may be some cold steam at
ventilation port outlet: this situation
is normal and does not indicate air
conditioning system malfunction.
• Automatic Temperature Controls
(ATC) will automatically adjust the
climate control settings to prevent
or eliminate window fogging on the
front windshield.
• Make sure the external air intake
grille, located in the front luggage
compartment, is free of obstructions
such as leaves or other objects.
Leaves collected in the air intake may
reduce airflow, and if they enter the
plenum, they could plug the water
drains. In winter make sure the air
intake is clear of ice, slush, and snow.
• The temperature can be displayed in
Metric or US units by selecting the
"Units" customer programmable
function. See "Functions of Settings
Menu on MIA" in this section.
• Any time you store your vehicle
or keep it stationary (i.e., during
vacation) for two weeks or more, run
the air conditioning system at idle
for about five minutes in the fresh
air by high blower setting. This will
ensure adequate system lubrication
and minimize the possibility of
compressor damage when the system
is started again.
A/C Filter
The climate control system filters
outside air containing dust, pollen and
some odours. Strong odours cannot
be totally removed by A/C filter at the
entrance of the air climate system. See
"Maintenance Procedures" in section
"Maintenance and Care" for filter
replacement instructions.
