Air conditioning system
Additional to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has:
AC=cooling4=air recirculationCooling (AC)
Operated with the AC button and
functional only when the engine and
fan are running.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) the air when
outside temperature is a little above
the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Air recirculation system 4
Operated with the 4 button.9Warning
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. 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 might mist up from outside when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper and avoid the use
of air distribution settings J and V.
Maximum cooling Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.
■ Cooling AC on.
■ Air recirculation system 4 on.
■ Set air distribution control to M.
■ Set temperature control to coldest level.
■ Set fan speed to highest level.
■ Open all air vents.

Climate control87Auxiliary heater
Coolant heater The Eberspächer engine-
independent, fuel-powered coolant
heater provides rapid heating of the
engine coolant to enable heating of
the vehicle interior without the engine running.9 Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's climate control system to heat and the
air distribution to V.
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.
Control units
The timer or remote control unit turns the system on and off, and is used to
programme specific departure times.
