Air intake
The air inta kes in front of the windsc reen in
the engine compartment must be kept
clear to allow air intake. Remove any
leaves, d irt or snow.
Pollen filter
The pollen filter cleans dust, soot, pollen
and spores from the air entering from
outside. The active carbon layer 3
eliminates most od ours and harmful
ambient gases from the air.
Replace the pollen filter at the intervals
given in the Service Booklet.
Note
If the windscreen mists up in damp
weather, temporarily set the system as
described und er "Window demisting and
defrosting" - see pages 104, 109.
Cooling is most efficient when the windows
are closed. If the interior is extrem ely hot
due to a long period in strong sunlight,
briefly open the windows and sunroof 3 to
allow hot air to escape quickly.
When cooling (air conditioning
compressor) is switched on, condensation
forms, which is expelled from the underside
of the vehicle.
When cooling is switched on, at least one of
the adjustable centre or side air vents must
be open so that the evaporator does not
ice up due to lack of air movement.
Cooling switches off automatically at low
outside temperatures.
Do not cover the interior temperature
sensor (located below the fan switch) or the
sunlight sensor (located in front of
windscreen defroster vents) as this could
cause the Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
sy ste m 3 to malfunction.
Maintenance
To ensure continuously efficient
performance and prolong the life of the air
conditioning sy ste m, it must be switched on
for a few minutes once a week, irrespective
of the weather and time of year.
Electronic Climate Control (ECC) 3 handles
this automatically while driving. Air
conditioning compressor operation is not
possible at low outside temperatures.
Malfunctions in the system must not be
rectified by the owner: consult a workshop.
