Activation is indicated by illumination
of the LED in the button. Cooling is
only functional when the engine is
running and climate control fan is switched on.
Press button n again to switch off
cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) as soon as the
outside temperature is slightly above
the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.

124Climate control
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. Activated cooling
may inhibit autostops.
Air recirculation system 4
Press button
4 to activate air
recirculation mode. Activation is
indicated by the LED in the button.
Press button 4 again to deactivate
air recirculation mode.
9 Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen may mist
up from outside, when cold air is
directed to it. If windscreen mists up
from outside, activate windscreen
wiper and deactivate s.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.
■ Switch on cooling n.

saving reasons. When the cooling
system is switched off, no engine restart will be requested by the
climate control system during an
Autostop. Exception: defrost system
is activated and outside temperature
above 0° C requests a restart.
The display will indicate ACON when
cooling is activated or ACOFF when

Climate control131Maintenance
Air intake
The air intake in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filter
The pollen filter cleans dust, soot,
pollen and spores from the air
entering the vehicle through the air
intake.
Air conditioning regular
operation In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once a
month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when the
outside temperature is too low.
Service
For optimal cooling performance, it is recommended to annually check the
climate control system, starting
three years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
■ functionality and pressure test
■ heating functionality
■ leakage check
■ check of drive belts
■ cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
■ performance check
