Coolant temperature display
Coolant temperature gauge. For physical reasons, the engine
temperature gauge shows the coolant
temperature only if the coolant level is
adequate.
During operation the system is pressurised.
The temperature may therefore rise briefly
to over 100 C.

Control indicator Y illuminates when the
level is low. Refuel immediately if the
control indicator begins to flash.
Never run the tank dry!
Because of the fuel remaining in the tank,
the amount of fuel required to fill the tank
may be less than the specified tank
capacity. Pointer in zone

Heating and ventilation systemTemperature
Adjusted using left-hand rotary switch.
The amount of heat is dependent on the
coolant temperature and is thus not fully
attained until the engine is warm.

The rate of air flow is determined by the
fan. The fan should therefore also be
switched on during a journey.

Cooling n
Only operate with the engine and fan
running. Activate and deactivate with
then button.
When cooling (air-conditioning
compressor) is on, the air is cooled and
dried. If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off cooling to save fuel.
Cooling switches off automatically at low
outside temperatures.
When cooling operates, condensation
forms and drips from the underside of the
vehicle.

Air recirculation system 4
The air recirculation mode of the
ventilation system is activated and
deactivated by pressing the 4 button.
If fumes or unpleasant odours penetrate
from outside: temporarily switch on air
recirculation system 4.
To increase cooling at high outside
temperatures, switch on the air
recirculation system briefly.Air distribution to V: the air recirculation
system is automatically switched off to
speed up window demisting and prevent
fogging.
9 Warning
The air recirculation system minimises
the entry of outside air. The humidity
increases, and the windows can mist up.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates which
may cause vehicle occupants to feel
drowsy.
