•Stale air exits outside through the boot area. For this reason, do
not obstruct air flow from the cabin to the rear part by placing
clothing on the rear shelf.
•The pollen filter cartridges must be regularly replaced as
indicated in the Inspection and Maintenance Plan to avoid a

Air conditioning not only decreases the temperature but also the
humidity of the vehicle’s interior. If the humidity of the outside air
is very high, the vehicle occupants will enjoy increased comfort,
even if the outside temperature is the same as the inside
temperature. The air conditioning system of this model allows you
to select a certain temperature (between 18°C and 26°C) with the
rotary knob
Afor the temperature selection. With the information
received by the different temperature sensors located in strategic
areas of the vehicle, the temperature of your choice is regulated.

108Climate control
•Disconnect air recirculation mode and A AC
C(ButtonsDand E).
•Rotary control
Ccan be set as you wish.K
Using air conditioner economically
In cooling mode the air conditioner compressor places demands
on the engine and therefore influences the fuel consumption. To
keep the period it is switched on as short as possible, the
following points should be noted.
•If the inside temperature is very high after the car has been
parked in the sun, it is recommended that doors and windows are
opened briefly to enable the hot air to escape.
•The hot air conditioner should not be switched on during a
journey if the windows or sliding/tilting roof* are open.
•The fresh air option should be selected if the desired inside
temperature can be achieved without having to turn on the cooling
system.
K
General notes
•High humidity and outside temperatures may cause
condensation and the evaporator to drip. This water is channeled
outside which can lead to the formation of puddles beneath your
vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate any leak.•For the ventilation to function correctly ice, snow or leaves in
front of the air inlets, on the grid below the windshields (passenger
side, outside) must be removed.
•Only switches
Aand Ccan by adjusted to any intermediate
position.
•When driving at low speed it is advisable to set a low fan speed
and to set switch
Cto position to avoid fogging of the
windshields.
•Since the efficiency of the heating system depends on the
temperature of the coolant, maximum efficiency is achieved when
the temperature reaches service temperature.
•Stale air is channeled outside through the boot area. For this
reason, do not obstruct the air passage from the passenger cabin
to the rear part by placing clothing on the rear shelf.

Air outlet for the rear seats is located under the front seats and is
together with air outlets5(feet exit).K
Vents
Depending on the selected key, the air will flow through different
vents.
Furthermore, vents
3and 4can be closed or opened individually
and air flow can be guided as needed.
Closed vent: control in vertical position.
Open vent: control in horizontal position.
You can guide the air outlet as needed by swiveling the vent with
the control.

General information
• High humidity and outside temperatures may cause
condensation and the evaporator to drip. This water is channeled
outside which can lead to the formation of puddles beneath your
vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate any leak.
• If you want the ventilation to work correctly, you should remove
the ice, the snow or the leaves which block the air inlet to thepassenger compartment situated in the vent below the windscreen
(on the passenger’s side, at the exterior).
• If the outside temperature is low, the compressor will be
automatically disconnected. With the AUTO key it will also not be
able to be connected.
• Stale air is channeled outside through the boot area. For this
reason, do not obstruct the air passage from the passenger cabin
to the rear part by placing clothing on the rear shelf.

• When the engine needs an extreme effort, the compressor will be
disconnected temporarily.
• The filter cartridge of pollen*/smells will have to be removed
regularly as established in the Inspection and Maintenance Plan.
Thus you will avoid a decrease in the system’s performance.

153 Care and maintenance
Safety FirstControls and equipment Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
Steel wheels
The wheels and the wheel trims should be cleaned thoroughly at
regular intervals when the vehicle is being washed. This will
prevent brake dust, dirt and road salt from accumulating on the
wheel. Persistent ingrained brake dust can be removed with an
industrial grime remover. Paint damage should be repaired before
rust can form.
K
Alloy wheels*
In order to maintain the smart appearance of alloy wheels for a
long period, regular care is necessary. In particular, salt and brake
pad dust must be washed off thoroughly at least every two weeks
otherwise the surface of the alloy will be damaged. After being
washed, the wheels should be treated with an acid-free cleaner for
alloy wheels. About every three months it is necessary to give
wheels a good rubbing with hard wax. Paint polish or other
abrasive solutions must not be used. If the protective paint coat
has been damaged, e.g. by stone impact, the damaged spots
should be dealt with as soon as possible.
Cleaning and anti-corrosion treatment of engine
compartment
The leaves, blossoms etc. which drop into the water box
(underneath the engine bonnet in front of the windscreen) should
be cleaned out occasionally. This will prevent the water drain holes
from becoming blocked and – on vehicles without a dust and
pollen filter – foreign bodies entering the vehicle interior via the
heating and ventilation system.
The engine compartment and the outside surface of the power unit
are given anti-corrosion treatment at the factory.
In the winter when the vehicle is being driven frequently on salted
roads, good anti-corrosion treatment is very important. For this
reason the entire engine compartment and the plenum chamber
should be thoroughly cleaned before and after the salting period
and then preserved so that the salt cannot have a damaging effect.

Coolant specifications
The cooling system is filled at the factory with a permanent coolant
which is not changed. The coolant consists of water and a 40%
concentration of our coolant additive
G G1
12
2+
+(glycol-based anti-
freeze with anti-corrosion additives). This mixture not only gives
the necessary frost protection down to –25 °C but also protects the
alloy parts in the cooling system against corrosion. In addition it
prevents scaling and significantly raises the boiling point of the
coolant.
The concentration of the coolant therefore must not be reduced in
the summer or in warm countries, by topping up with plain water.
