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.
General information oncontrolling the interiorclimate

The system in your vehicle isdual-zone automatic climate control.When the system is in mono mode,all the temperature zones are linkedto the driver's zone. When you switchmono mode off, the dual-zonesystem allows you to set differenttemperatures for the driver's andfront passenger's side.
Note:Avoid adjusting the settingswhen the vehicle interior is extremelyhot or cold. The automatic climatecontrol adjusts to the currentcircumstances automatically. For thesystem to function properly, the sideand centre vents should be fullyopen.
Note:The sunload sensor is locatedon top of the instrument panel. Donot cover the sensor with anyobjects.
Note:At low outside temperatures,when the system is in auto mode, theair stream will be directed to thewindscreen and the side windows aslong as the engine is cold.

The programmable auxiliaryheater should be switched onfor approximately 10 minutes at leastonce a month all year round. Thisprevents the water pump and heatermotor from seizing.
To avoid corrosion, the coolantin your vehicle should contain atleast 10 % antifreeze all year round.
Note:The programmable auxiliaryheater will only operate if there is atleast 7.5 litres of fuel in the fuel tank.
Note:The heating depends on theoutside air temperature.
Note:It is possible that when theprogrammable auxiliary heater isactivated, exhaust fumes may comefrom under the sides of the vehicle.This is normal.
Note:On vehicles with manualclimate control the heating of thevehicle interior is dependent on thetemperature, air distribution andblower control settings.
The programmable auxiliary heateroperates independently of the vehicleheater by heating the engine’scoolant circuit. It is fed from thevehicle fuel tank.
Used properly, the programmableauxiliary heater provides the followingbenefits:
•It preheats the interior of thevehicle.
•It keeps the windows clear of icein the event of frost and preventscondensation.
•It avoids cold starts and allows theengine to reach operatingtemperature sooner.
The programmable auxiliary heatermay also be used while the vehicle isin motion to help the vehicle heaterand warm up the interior morequickly.
To prevent the battery fromdischarging:
•Once the programmable auxiliaryheater has performed one heatingcycle, the next programmedheater time will only be carried outif the vehicle’s engine has beenstarted in between.
•After a heating cycle, the vehicleshould be driven for at least theperiod of the heating cycle.
Programming the auxiliaryheater
The auxiliary heater is programmedusing the information display. SeeInformation displays (page 96).
