information and heed the WAHNINGS on page 226.
The cooling syste m for the passenger compart­
ment o nl y functions when the engin e is running
and the fan is switched on.
The air conditioner is most efficient when the w in­dows an d the power sunroof are closed. However,
if th e vehicle is sta ti o nary and the passenger com­partment becomes very hot due to sunlight, opening the w indows briefly may speed up the cooling proce ss.
Keep
the a ir intake slot in front of the windshield
free of i ce, snow and lea ves in order to maintain proper funct ioning of the heating and ventilation systems.
Settings for optimal driving safety
