AIR CONDITIONING
A. Air conditioning On/Off
With the engine running, press
the button, the warning lamp lights
up.
If the control C is in position
"0", the air conditioning is off.
The cabin temperature cannot be
lower than the ambient temperature
unless the air conditioning is
operating.
For reassurance that your system
is functioning correctly, you are
recommended to have it checked
on a regular basis.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning system
drains away through an aperture
provided for this purpose. A pool of
water may thus form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
If after a prolonged stop in strong
sunshine the cabin temperature is
excessive, open the windows to
air the passenger compartment
for a few minutes, the close them
again.
The air conditioning uses power
from the engine to operate. There
is therefore a slight increase in
fuel consumption.
To keep the compressor well
sealed, it is essential to operate
the air conditioning at least once
in every month.
Whatever the time of year, the air
conditioning is useful in removing
humidity and misting.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the
windows closed.
