If the tyre pressure is correct, but the indicator lamp fails to go out after the ignilion is switch-
(l) System faulty. ed off and back on again and if it is not possi-ble to calibrate the tyre monitoring system, please go to a qualified workshop. Have the system checked.
•I Indicator lamp flashes for around 1 minute and then lights continuously.
Several warning and indicator lamps will light up briefly as a functional check when the lgnilion is switched on. They will go out after a few seconds.
A WARNING
Differing tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can cause tyre failure, the loss of vehicle control, accidents, serious in-jury and death.
• If the Indicator lamp (l) lights up, stop the vehicle as soon as possible and check all the tyres.
• Different tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can Increase wear on the tyres, reduce vehicle stability and Increase the braking distance.
• Differing tyre pressures or tyre pressures that are too low can cause sudden tyre failure and lead to a tyre burst and the loss of con-trol over the vehicle.
• The driver Is responsible for the correct tyre pressure of all tyres on the vehicle. The recommended tyre pressure can be found on the tyre pressure label 367.
• The tyre monitoring system cannot func-tion correctly until all cold wheels have the correct tyre pressure.
• The use of Incorrect tyre pressures can cause accidents and tyre damage. All tyres must always have the correct tyre pressure to suit the vehicle load.
• Always Inflate all tyres to the correct tyre pressure before every journey.
• If driven with Insufficient pressure, the tyre flexes more. This could warm up the tyre to such an extent that the tread may separate and the tyre could burst.
• High speeds and overloading of the vehi-cle may cause the tyres to heat up to such an extent that the tyre bursts, leading you to lose control of the vehicle.

A WARNING (Continued)
• If the tyre pressure Is too low or too high, the tyres will wear prematurely and the vehl-cle will not handle well.
• If the tyre Is not flat and it Is not necessary to change the wheel immediately, drive at low speed to the nearest qualified workshop and check and correct the tyre pressure.
A WARNING
Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle breaking down In traffic, and can cause acci-dent and serious injury.
• Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.
• Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.

Failure to observe Illuminated Indicator lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle be-Ing damaged.
m If the tyre pressure is too low and this is de-L!..) tected while driving, the yellow indicator lamp lights up (l). An acoustic warning is also given, and a text notification may also be shown.
m If a system fault is detected while the ignition L!..J is switched on, the yellow Indicator lamp flashes (l) for around one minute and then lights up steadily. A text notification may also be displayed.
m Driving on unpaved roads for a long time or a L!..J sporty driving style could temporarily deacti-vate the tyre monitoring system. The Indicator lamp shows the functional fault, but disappears if the road conditions or driving style change.

m If the cooling system is switched off. the out-W side air that is drawn into the vehicle is not dehumidified. To prevent the windows misting over, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that you leave the air conditioning (air conditioning co'!!E.'"essor) switched on. To do this, press the @ button. The indicator lamp in the button must light up.
m Maximum heat output, which is needed to de-W frost the windows as quickly as possible, is only available when the engine has reached its op-erating temperature.

A WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which in turn can cause collisions, accidents and serious inju-ries.
• Never switch off the blowers or switch on the air recirculatlon mode for an extended pe-riod as this prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle Interior. Information on the air conditioning system
.........r'n First read and observe the Introductory L-.lr:.ll Information and safety warnings & on page 322.
The cooling system for the vehicle interior only works when the engine is running and the blower is switched on.
The air conditioning system operates most effec-tively with the windows and the sliding/tilting roof closed. However, if the vehicle has heated up after standing in the sun for some time, the air inside can be cooled more quickly by opening the win-dows and the sliding/tilting roof for a short time.
Settings for optimal road visibility
Switching the cooling system on not only reduces the temperature of the vehicle interior, but also the humidity. This improves comfort for the vehicle oc-cupants and prevents the windows from misting when the outside humidity is high.
Climatic
• Switch off air recirculation mode 330.
• Set the blowers to the required level.
• Set the temperature to +22•c (+72.F).
• Open and position all vents on the dash panel 329.
• Turn the air distribution controller to the desired position.
• Press the@) button to switch the cooling sys-tem on. The indicator lamp in the button lights up.
328 I While driving
Cllmatronlc
• Press button.
• Set the temperature to +22•c (+72.F).
• Open and position all vents on the dash panel 329.
The cooling system cannot be switched on
The following criteria may prevent the cooling sys-tem from being switched on:
• The engine is not running.
• The blower is switched off.
• The air conditioning system fuse has blown.
• The ambient temperature is lower than approxi-mately +3"C (+38°F).
• The compressor has been temporarily switched off because the coolant temperature is too high.
• There is a different fault in the vehicle. The air conditioning system should be checked by a quali-fied workshop.
Things to note
If the humidity and temperature outside the vehicle are high, condensation can drip off the evaporator in the cooling system and form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a

concentration of noxious substances in the outside air. The air recirculation mode will switch off as soon as this level has returned to normal.
The system cannot detect unpleasant odours.
The air recirculation mode will not be switched on automatically in certain circumstances such as when the ambient temperature is low or the air conditioning system has been switched on.
Switching the automatic air recirculation mode on and off
Switching on: press button repeatedly until the right indicator lamp in the button lights up.
Switching off: press button repeatedly until the indicator lamp in the button is no longer lit up.
A WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which In turn can cause collisions, accidents and serious inju-ries.
• Never use the air reclrculation mode for an extended period as no fresh air will enter the vehicle Interior.
• If the cooling system is switched off, the windows can mist up very quickly In air recir-culatlon mode and reduce visibility consider-ably.
• Always switch off the air reclrculation mode when it is not required.
CD
In vehicles with an air conditioning system, do not smoke when the air reclrculatlon mode Is switched on. The smoke drawn Into the cooling system can leave a residue on the evaporator and the dust and pollen filter with active carbon insert, producing a lasting unpleasant odour.
m Cllmatronic: when reversing the vehicle, or l!J when the wash and wipe system is being used, the air recirculation mode will switch on tem-porarily to prevent exhaust emissions from entering the vehicle interior.
