Recommendations for
use
If the interior temperature
remains very high after a prolonged
period parked in the sun, do not
hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
For an even air distribution, make
sure that you do not block the out-
side air inlet grille, the vents, the air
passages and the air outlets to the
footwells.
Ensure that the passenger compart-

elements replaced regularly. If you
drive in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
In order to ensure that your air condi-
tioning system continues to operate
correctly, you are advised to have it
checked regularly.
