10 Air conditioning system -
general information and
precautions
General information
1 Air conditioning is available as an option on
later models. In conjunction with the heater,
the system enables any reasonable air
temperature to be achieved inside the car. It
also reduces the humidity of the incoming air,
aiding demisting even when cooling is not
required (see illustration).
