Air conditioning A/C on/off
The air conditioning system is designed
to operate effectively in all seasons, with
the windows closed:
● It lowers the temperature in summer.
● It increases the effectiveness of the
demisting, in winter, above 3°C.
Press button 6 A/C to switch on air
conditioning. The LED in the button
illuminates to indicate activation. Air
conditioning is only functional when the
engine is running and fan is switched on.
Press A/C again to switch off air
conditioning.
Note
To obtain cool air more quickly, enable
the interior air recirculation for a brief
period. Then return to the intake of
exterior air.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) as soon as the
outside temperature is slightly above the
freezing point. Therefore, condensation
may form and drip from under the
vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required, switch
off the cooling system for fuel saving
reasons.
Activated cooling may inhibit Autostops.

Recirculation of interior air
The recirculation of interior air allows the
passenger compartment to be isolated
from polluted air in areas of heavy traffic
and inside tunnels.
The intake of exterior air helps to avoid
and eliminate misting of the windscreen
and the side windows.
Note
When required, this function also allows
faster heating or cooling of the air in the
passenger compartment.
Rotate selector 8 to the right to allow
interior air recirculation.
Rotate selector 8 to the left to deactivate
air recirculation and allow intake of
exterior air.
Warning
The exchange of fresh air is reduced in
air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling, the air
humidity increases, so the windows
may mist up from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates, which
may cause the occupants to feel
drowsy.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot air
can disperse quickly.
Switch on A/C.
● Activate interior air recirculation.
● Adjust air distribution to head area.
● Set temperature control to coldest
level.
●
Set fan speed to highest level.
●
Open all vents.
Demisting and defrosting the
windows
●
Turn knob 3 to position 4: the air flow is
maximized towards the windscreen.
