Notes
If the windscreen m ists up in damp
weather, temporarily set the system as
described under "Window demisting and
defrosting" - see pages 101, 106.
Cooling is most efficient when the windows
are closed. If the interior is extremely 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 v ehicle.
When cooling is switched on, at least one of
the adjustable centre or side air vents must
be open so that the evap orator d oes 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 rotary knob)
or the sunlight sensor (located in front of
windscreen defroster vents) as this could
cause the Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
system 3 to malfunction.
Maintenance
To ensure continuously efficient
performance and prolong the life of the air
conditioning system, 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 whilst 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.
