HEATING - VENTILATION - AIR CONDITIONING (continued)
Air conditioning controls
Control D operates or stops
the air conditioning system.
The system cannot be switched on
if control C is set to 0.
Use the air conditioning system
occasionally in winter to keep the
system in good working order.
Do not worry about any water
which may appear from underneath
the car as this results from
condensation.
Using the air conditioning system:
• lowers the internal passenger
compartment temperature,
especially in hot weather, when
driving in traffic or when the car
has been parked in the sun;
• reduces the humidity of the air
blown inside the passenger
compartment (prevents misting).
Fuel consumption increases when
the air conditioning system is being
used. (Switch it off when it is not
required.)
Note: the air conditioning may be
used in all conditions but does not
operate when the external
temperature is low.
• Button D not activated (indicator
light E not illuminated)
The air conditioning is not
operating.
Heating and ventilation are
therefore identical to that of a car
without air conditioning.
• Button D activated (indicator
light E illuminated)
The air conditioning is activated.
