Details and Technology
This system consists of the standard heating and ventilation system plus integrated air conditioning
(maximum cooling output approximately 7 kW). The automatic temperature control maintains the
temperature selected via the rotary temperature control. A sensor regulates the intensity of the cooling.
When the air conditioning is switched on, the fan automatically comes on at speed one. Speeds two, three
and four can be selected manually. In high ambient temperatures and high humidity, the interior can be
cooled quickly by selecting fan speed four and air recirculation. The air conditioning can be switched on
and off by means of a switch on the instrument panel. System specification includes a combination filter
and residual engine heat utilization. The combination filter removes particulate matter and fine particles
from the incoming air. The filter has a service life of approximately 48,000 km or 36 months (whichever
occurs first) under normal conditions.
Benefits and Arguments
• A desirable interior temperature is maintained even in hot weather
• Automatic temperature control
• Integrated filter protects against dust and pollen
Air conditioning improves the comfort and well-being of both driver and passengers. Dehumidification
prevents fogging in cold, damp weather. The desired interior temperature is maintained at a constant level
regardless of ambient temperature and solar radiation. The filter protects against allergic reactions by
preventing pollen, dust and odours from entering the vehicle.
Remarks
Air conditioning is standard on all models.
