OPERATION
Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of thewindscreen free from obstruction(snow, leaves etc.) to allow theclimate control system to functioneffectively.
Recirculated air
CAUTION
Prolonged use of recirculated airmay cause the windows to mistup. If the windows mist up, follow thesettings for defrosting and demistingthe windscreen.
The air currently in the passengercompartment will be recirculated.Outside air will not enter the vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends onthe temperature of the enginecoolant.
Air conditioning
Note:The air conditioning operatesonly when the temperature is above4ºC (39ºF).
Note:If you use the air conditioning,the fuel consumption of your vehiclewill be higher.
Air is directed through the evaporatorwhere it is cooled. Humidity isextracted from the air to help keepthe windows free of mist. Theresulting condensation is directed tothe outside of the vehicle and it istherefore normal if you see a smallpool of water under your vehicle.
