conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.

You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.

Drive with the air vents open and
the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine.

In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, venti-
lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you
may notice that condensation starts
to form on the windows and wind-
screen.
If there is condensation, use the
 function to remove it,
then use the air conditioning in auto-
matic mode to stop it forming again.
If the condensation does not clear,
use the FAST programme.
After having used the air condition-
ing system, an odour may occur
caused by the humidity remaining
inside the air vents. Try to switch
off the air conditioning five min-
utes before stopping the engine to
remove any remaining humidity in
the air vents.
