Air conditioning system

In addition to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has:
= cooling
n
4 = air recirculation
V = demisting and defrosting
Heated seats 3 49, Ventilated seats
3 49.
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 slightly above
freezing point. 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.
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.
In warm and very humid ambient air
conditions, the windscreen might mist
up from outside, when cold air is
directed to it. If windscreen mists up
from outside, activate windscreen
wiper and deactivate s.
Air distribution to s: Air recirculation
is deactivated.

air can disperse quickly.
