Climatisation

In addition to the heating and ventilation system, the climate control offers the following functions:

= recyclage d'air= cooling


= désembuage et dégivrage= air recirculation


Sièges chauffants 50, sièges ventilés= demisting and defrosting


Heated seats 50, ventilated seats 50.

CoolingActivé avec le bouton ,


Activated with the uniquement button,
only when the engine and the blower are running.

The climate control system cools and dehumidifies the air as soon as the outside temperature is slightly above freezing point. Condensation may then form, which drains out under the vehicle.

If neither cooling nor dehumidification is required, switch off cooling to save fuel.

Caution

The air recirculation system reduces the intake of outside air.

When used without cooling, the humidity of the air increases and the windows may fog up. The air quality decreases, which can cause passengers to feel tired.

In hot and very humid ambient conditions, the windshield may fog up from the outside when cold air is directed at it. If the windshield fogs up from the outside, activate the front wiper and deactivate .
