Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Outside Air
Keep the air intakes in front of thewindscreen free from obstruction (snow,leaves etc.) to allow the climate controlsystem to function effectively.
Recirculated Air
WARNING
Prolonged use of recirculated air maycause the windows to mist up. If thewindows mist up, follow the settingsfor demisting the windscreen.
The air currently in the passenger'scompartment will be recirculated. Outsideair will not enter your vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on thetemperature of the engine coolant.
Air Conditioning
Note:The air conditioning operates onlywhen the temperature is above 39°F (4°C).
Note:If you use the air conditioning, thefuel consumption of your vehicle will behigher.
Air is directed through the evaporatorwhere it is cooled. Humidity is extractedfrom the air to help keep the windows freeof mist. The resulting condensation isdirected to the outside of your vehicle andit is therefore normal if you see a smallpool of water under your vehicle.
General Information on Controllingthe Interior Climate
Fully close all the windows.
Warming the Interior
Direct the air toward your feet. In cold orhumid weather conditions, direct some ofthe air toward the windscreen and the doorwindows.
Cooling the Interior
