108 Climate control
Air conditioning system
In addition to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
n
= cooling
4
= air recirculation
Cooling n
Operated with the n button and is
functional only when the engine and
fan are running.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) as soon as the
outside temperature is above a
specific level. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from
under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel. When the cooling system is
switched off, no engine restart will be
requested by the climate control
system during an Autostop.
Air recirculation system 4
Operated with the 4 button.
9 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 vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
Air distribution to l: Air recirculation
is deactivated.

Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.
