156 Air conditioning
CAUTION
● If you suspect that the air conditioner system is damaged, switch over to
ECON mode to prevent further damage and have the system checked by a
qualified workshop.
● Repairs to the air conditioner require specialist knowledge and special
tools. For this reason, please contact a qualified workshop if the system is
not working properly.
Note
● Keep the air intake slots in front of the windscreen clear of snow, ice and
leaves to ensure unimpaired heating and cooling and to prevent the win-
dows misting over.
● The air from the outlets flows through the passenger compartment and
out through the slots below the rear window. Therefore, do not cover these
slots with items of clothing or other objects.
● The air conditioner operates most effectively with the windows and the
sliding/tilting sunroof* closed. However, if the vehicle has heated up after
standing in the sun for some time, the air inside can be cooled more quickly
by opening the windows briefly.
