Air conditioning system

Air conditioning system

Additional to the heating and ventilation system, the air conditioning system has: = cooling
= air recirculation

Cooling
Operated with the button
and is
functional only when the engine and fan are running. The air conditioning system cools and dehumidifies (dries) when outside temperature is a little above the 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

The air recirculation mode is operated with the button.

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. The quality of the passenger compartment air deteriorates, which may cause the vehicle occupants to feel drowsy.
