In this operating mode the air is drawn
from inside the vehicle and cooled (air
recirculation).
Air recirculation mode should not be
selected for long periods of time as
no fresh air is then fed into the vehi-
cle from the outside and the windows
tend to mist over.
Note
Smoking should be avoided when air
recirculation is selected, as the
smoke drawn in from the vehicle inte-
rior deposits on the evaporator of the
air conditioner. This leads to perma-
nent odours when the air conditioner
is in operation. These can only be
eliminated by exchanging the evapo-
rator, which is time-consuming and
expensive.
Normal cooling*
•
Rotary knob
A
to position 1-4 as
required.
•
Rotary knob
B
to the desired air tem-
perature (so that heating is also possi-
ble).
•
Rotary knob
C
to desired position.
In position at least one vent must
always be open otherwise the A/C
system will ice up.
•
Left button
D
(norm) pressed.
•
Vents 3 and 4 set as required.
In this condition air is drawn in from out-
side and cooled (fresh air operation).
Using air conditioning system
economically
In cooling operation the air conditioning
system compressor places demands on
the engine and therefore influences the
fuel consumption. To keep the period it is
switched on as short as possible, the fol-
lowing points should be noted:
•
If the inside temperature is very high
after the car has been parked in the sun,
it is recommended that doors and win-
dows are opened briefly to enable the hot
air to escape.
•
The air conditioning system should not
be switched on during a journey if the
windows are open.
