R set the Auxiliary heating* departure
time
Switching cooling with air dehumidifi-
cation on/off Cooling is operational when the engine is run-
ning and cools according to the selected inte-
rior temperature for the vehicle. Cooling also
dehumidifies the air inside the vehicle and,
thereby, prevents the windows from misting
up. G
Risk of accident
If you deactivate the cooling function with air
dehumidification, the vehicle will not be
cooled in warm weather and the air will not be
dehumidified. The windows could mist up
more quickly. This may prevent you from
observing the traffic conditions, thereby caus-
ing an accident.
i Condensation may collect on the under-
side of the vehicle when the cooler is oper-
ating. 170
