HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE

General Hints

Note:

Prolonged use of recirculated air may

cause the windows to fog up.

Note:

A small amount of air may be felt

from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.

Note:

To reduce humidity build-up inside

your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.

Note:

Do not place objects under the front

seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.

Note:

Keep the air intakes in front of the

windshield free from obstruction (such as
snow or leaves) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.

Note:

To reduce fogging of the windshield

during humid weather, adjust the air
distribution control to the windshield air
vents position. Increase the temperature
and fan speed and press the A/C button to
improve clearing, if required.
