The interval for replacing the filter de-
pends on environmental factors, e.g.
high air pollution. The interval may be
shorter than that indicated in the Ser-
vice Booklet.
iCondensation may collect under the
vehicle while Tempmatic is in opera-
tion.
Warning
G
Air flowing out of the air vents in the foot-
well when Tempmatic is in operation may
be very hot or very cold. There is therefore
a risk of frostbite or burns to bare skin in
the immediate proximity of these outlets.
Keep bare skin away from these air out-
lets. If necessary, direct the airflow into a
different area of the vehicle interior using
the air distribution control.
iIf the vehicle interior has been heat-
ed up, ventilate the vehicle before
starting your journey or briefly
switch to air-recirculation mode for
faster cooling.
Keep the air inlet on the hood free
from ice and snow.
Position the sliders for the center air
vents in the central position to pro-
vide practically draft-free ventilation.
