If the inside of a parked vehicle has become very hot due to solar radiation, it is recommended to open windows or doors for a short time to ventilate the interior.
If the windows or the sunroof are open while driving, do not turn on the air conditioner.
When the desired interior temperature can be reached even without turning on the air conditioner, it is better to use the interior ventilation system.
General instructions
At high temperatures and high humidity outside air, condensation may drip from the evaporator and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak in the system.
All controls, with the exception of knob B and keys D and E, can be set to any intermediate position.
In order to avoid fogging of the windows, at a low vehicle speed, turn the knob B to the lowest stage of the fan operation mode, and put the knob C to the position.
If the climate control system has not been switched on for a long time, an unpleasant odor may appear when it is turned on due to the accumulation of various kinds of deposits on the evaporator. To avoid unpleasant odours, the air conditioner should be switched on at least once a month at the highest fan setting, also during the cold season. At the same time, open one of the windows for a short time.
The heating capacity of the heating system depends on the coolant temperature of the engine cooling system, therefore, the greatest heating occurs when the engine is warmed up to operating temperature.
In order for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system to work reliably, the fresh air intake located in front of the windshield must be kept clear of ice, snow and leaves.
Used air is expelled through outlets under the rear window. When placing items of clothing on the luggage compartment shelf, make sure that these openings are not blocked.
