of air supplied to the vehicle interior .For
this reason, you should always observ ethe

Important information The coolin
gwith air dehumidification function
is only available when the engin eisrunning.
The air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehu-
midified according to the temperature selec-
ted. G
Risk of accident
If the "cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is deactivated, the air inside the vehicle
will not be cooled (during warm weather) or
dehumidified. The windows could mist up
more quickly. This may preven tyou from observing the traffic conditions, thereby caus-
ing an accident.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when THERMOTRONI Cisincool-
ing mode. This is norma land not asign that
there is amalfunction.
i The cooling with air dehumidification
function uses refrigerant R134a. This cool-
ant does not contain chlorofluorocarbons,
and therefor edoes not damage the ozone
layer.
Switching on/off X

Problems with the "cooling with air
dehumidification" function If the indicator lam
pint he ¿ button does
not go out when switched off ,the cooling with
air dehumidification func tion is switched off
due to amalfunction. You can no longer

In automatic mode, the set temperature is
maintained automatically at aconstant level.
The system automatically regulates the tem-
peratur eofthe dispensed air ,the airflo wand
