Heating and air-conditioning
Heating, ventilation and cooling
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Air outlet vents
57
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in
the vehicle. The cooling system prevents the windows from misting up during
winter months.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling ef-
fect.
Please refer to the information regarding the recalculated air mode for air-condi-
tioning » page 61 .
WARNINGFor your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the windows
are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize yourself about how to cor- rectly operate the heating and ventilation systems, how to demist and defrost
the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.
CAUTION
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free from ice, snow or leaves,
for example, to ensure that the heating and cooling system works properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air con-
ditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a leak!
Note■ The used air streams out through the vents in the luggage compartment.■We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating air
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the in-
terior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of the air conditioning sys- tem. This produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning system is oper-ating which can only be eliminated through considerable effort and expense (re-
placement of compressor).
Air outlet vents

Operational problems
62The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on » page 60.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-4).
The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to pro-
vide cooling at a high load of the engine.
CAUTION
■ Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of
the vents when the cooling system is switched on.■
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
59Heating and air-conditioning
Page 65 of 176
Using the air conditioning system economicallyFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 59.
The compressor on the air conditioning system uses power from the engine whenin cooling mode which will effect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the inte- rior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order to al-low the heated air to escape.
The cooling system should not be on if the windows are open.
For the sake of the environment
Pollutant emissions are also reduced when fuel is saved » page 74.
Operational problems
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 59.
If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5 °C,
there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be.
› One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessa-
ry » page 154 .
› The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because the
coolant temperature of the engine is too hot » page 15.
If you are not able to resolve the operational problem yourself, or if the cooler
output has reduced, switch off the cooling system and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.
