PRINCIPLE OF OPERATIONOutside airKeep the air intakes forward of thewindscreen free from obstruction (snow,leaves etc.) to allow the climate controlsystem to function effectively.
Recirculated airCAUTION
Prolonged use of recirculated air maycause the windows to mist up. If thewindows mist up, follow the settings
for defrosting and demisting thewindscreen.
The air currently in the passengercompartment will be recirculated. Outsideair will not enter the vehicle.
HeatingHeating performance depends on thetemperature of the engine coolant.
Air conditioningNote: The air conditioning operates onlywhen the temperature is above 4°C (39°F).Note: If you use the air conditioning, thefuel consumption of your vehicle will behigher.Air is directed through the evaporatorwhere it is cooled. Humidity is extractedfrom the air to help keep the windows freeof mist. The resulting condensation isdirected to the outside of the vehicle andit is therefore normal if you see a smallpool of water under your vehicle.
General information on controllingthe interior climateFully close all the windows.
Warming the interiorDirect the air towards your feet. In cold orhumid weather conditions, direct some ofthe air towards the windscreen and thedoor windows.
Cooling the interiorDirect the air towards your face.
AIR VENTS
E71942
The center and side vents enable efficientventilation of the passenger compartmentand should be used when the cooling ofthe compartment is required.The side vents can also be used to removemist and ice from the side windows. Makesure not to adjust them straight upwardsas they can also divert the air streamcoming out of the side window demisters.In winter, after the passengercompartment has been warmed up, theair from the center vents has a lowertemperature than the air from the sidevents. According to individual preferences,the center vents can be closed in coldweather, or opened for extra fresh air whenheating.

FUEL CONSUMPTIONDriving speed and gear selection
E102245
The graph shows how fuel consumptionis affected by speed and the choice ofgears. Holding on to lower gears to improveacceleration will result in significantlyhigher fuel consumption.
Length of journey/enginetemperatureFrequent cold starts and short distancedriving leads to considerably increased fuelusage.
Traffic and road conditionsSlow moving traffic, uphill driving, frequentsharp bends and rough roads all have anadverse effect on fuel consumption.
Erratic driving habitsAnticipate hazards ahead and keep a safedistance from the vehicle in front.This not only reduces fuel consumptionbut also the noise level.
