Heating and air conditioning system 103
Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
Note
We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recircu-
lating air mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evap-
orator from the interior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of
the air conditioning system. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through
considerable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Using the system
Setting temperature
– Turn the control dial ⇒fig. 99 to the right in order to
increase the temperature.
– Turn the control dial to the left in order to increase the temperature.
Controlling blower
– Turn the blower switch into one of the positions, 1 to 4, in order to switch the blower on.
– Turn the blower switch into position 0 in order to switch the blower off.
– Pressing switch causes the recirculating air system ⇒page 105 to be switched on.
Control for air distribution
– You can adjust the direction of the inlet air flow ⇒page 106
using air distribution regulator .
Switching air conditioning on/off
– Press the switch . The symbol
 in the switch comes
on.
– When you again press the switch , the air conditioning system is switched off. The symbol
 in the button is no
longer illuminated.
WARNING (continued)
•You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer
period of time. “Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and
passengers, reduce attention levels and also cause the windows to
mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recircu-
lated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
