switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. Activated cooling
may inhibit an Autostop.

compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen might mist up from outside when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
