and C and with the switch B ⇒ Fig. 90
you can adjust the temperature, the air distribution and the
blower speed.
– Press the button D
to switch air recirculation mode on or off.
When the function is activated, a warning light on the button is
turned on.
Temperature
Switch A
adjusts temperature. The required temperature inside the vehicle
cannot be lower than the ambient temperature. Maximum heat output, which is needed to defrost the windows quickly, is only available when the
engine has reached its operating temperature.
Blower
The air flow can be set at four speeds with switch
B
. The blower should al-
ways be set at the lowest speed when driving slowly.
Air distribution
Control C
for setting the flow of air in the required direction.
– Air distribution towards the windscreen in order to demist. For safety
reasons, it is not recommended to switch air recirculation on.
– Air distribution to the upper body
– Air distribution to footwell
– Air distribution to the windscreen and the footwell.
Air recirculation mode
Air recirculation mode D
on (a lamp lights up in red) prevents strong
odours from the outside air from entering in the vehicle, for example when
passing through a tunnel or in a traffic jam ⇒
.
When the outside temperature is low, air recirculation mode improves heat-
ing performance by heating air from the interior instead of cold air from the
outside.

Vehicle interior heating or cooling system
Fig. 94 Air conditioning
controls on the dash pan-
el
Interior heating
– Disconnect the cooling system using button ⇒ Fig. 94 AC
(the
button light turns off).
– Turn the temperature selector A
to set the desired temperature
inside the vehicle. –
Turn the blower switch to any of the settings 1-4.
– Set the air distribution control C
to the air flow configuration
desired: (towards the windscreen), (towards the chest),
(towards the footwell) and (towards the windscreen and
footwell areas).
Interior cooling
– Connect the cooling system with button AC
(the button light
should light up).
– Turn the temperature control switch until the desired interior
temperature is reached.
– Turn the blower switch to any of the settings 1-4.
– Set the air distribution control to the air flow configuration de-
sired:
(towards the windscreen), (towards the chest), (towards the footwell) and (towards the windscreen and
footwell areas).
Heating
Maximum heat output, which is needed to defrost the windows quickly, is
only available when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
Coolant system
When the air conditioning is switched on, the temperature and the air hu-
midity go down. This way, if the outside humidity is extreme, the air condi-
tioning prevents the misting of the windows and therefore, comfort is im-
proved.
If the air conditioning does not work, this may be due to the following rea-
sons:
● The engine is stationary.
● The fan blower is switched off.
