The air conditioner at any time of the year automatically maintains the desired temperature in the car.
Recommended all-season typical setting:
1. Set the temperature to 22°C (71°F),
2. Press the key «AUTO».
This setting ensures the fastest possible creation of a comfortable microclimate in the cabin. Therefore, it makes sense to deviate from it only if it is dictated by one's own well-being.
The air conditioner is a combination of heater, fan and refrigerator operating in automatic mode. The air conditioner reduces humidity and cools the air in the cabin.
The conditioner completely automatically maintains the set temperature mode in inside of the car. To do this, the temperature and the amount of air entering through the supply channels are automatically changed, and air flows are also distributed. The air conditioner also reacts to solar radiation and therefore no manual adjustment is required. For this reason, the automatic mode is in almost all cases the best way to feel good in the car at any time of the year.
In cooling mode, the humidity in the passenger compartment decreases. This prevents the windows from fogging up.
When the outside temperature and humidity are high, condensed water may drip from the evaporator, forming a puddle under the vehicle. This is normal and is not a sign of depressurization!
In cold weather, the fan turns on only after the coolant has warmed up to the desired temperature. The exception is the heated windshield.
When starting off abruptly with the accelerator pedal fully depressed, the air conditioning compressor is switched off for a while to realize full engine power.
The compressor shuts down when the coolant temperature is too high to allow normal engine cooling under extreme load conditions.
Fine filter
Filter (consisting of a microparticle filter and activated carbon) significantly reduces the amount of dust, pollen, gases, etc. contained in the outdoor air.
Change the filter element in accordance with the Maintenance Schedule.
Warning: If you suspect that the air conditioner is defective, you must immediately turn on the ECON·mode and check the air conditioner.
Warning: To avoid a drop in heating and cooling performance, as well as fogging of the windows, it is important that the air intake in front of the windshield is not clogged with snow, ice or leaves.
Air entering through the supply channels and then distributed throughout the cabin is removed through the exhaust slots under the rear window. Therefore, do not cover them with clothing, etc. things.
The air conditioner operates most efficiently with the sunroof* closed and the windows up. If, however, the air in the passenger compartment has warmed up as a result of a long period of parking in the sun, then lowering the windows for a short time before turning on the air conditioner can speed up the cooling process.
Governing bodies
Illustration Air conditioning controls will help you quickly master the controls of the air conditioner.

3. Press the key.
The automatic circulation mode should always be switched on whenever possible.
The device is ready for operation 30 seconds after the ignition is switched on / the engine is started. During this period, only outside air enters the car.
The degree of contamination of the outdoor air is assessed by an air quality sensor located in the air conditioner, which, depending on the degree of contamination, issues a command to clean the air using a standard-installed pollutant filter or a command to turn on the circulation mode. At a high concentration of harmful substances, the air conditioner automatically switches to circulation mode and, thereby, the access of outside air to the passenger compartment is blocked. With a decrease in the degree of pollution of the outside air, outside air begins to flow into the passenger compartment again.
The maximum duration of the automatic circulation mode is 12 minutes. When the windows fog up, immediately press the key.
Under certain operating conditions (for example, program position or ) the automatic circulation mode is switched off. In ECON·mode and temperatures below -8°C, the automatic circulation time is limited to twelve (12) seconds.

The air supply is regulated depending on the selected control mode automatically or manually. Heated, unheated or cooled outside air can be supplied.
The air nozzles for the rear passenger footwell are located under the front seats. Air control is carried out together with the nozzles (5).
Warning: When the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, the air is drawn mainly through the channels (3) And (4). In order to effectively cool the passenger compartment, never completely close the channels (3) And (4).
Air distribution
It is possible to change the mode of distribution of air set by automatic equipment.
Both separate and combined manipulation of the keys, or is possible. If it is necessary to return to the automatic air distribution mode, deactivate the corresponding functions by pressing these keys separately or by pressing the key «AUTO».
The three keys have the following meaning. The numbers correspond to the flows shown in Fig. Instrument panel: location of air nozzles and deflectors.

Air supply from the side of the instrument panel
The entire air flow is realized with the supply through the deflectors 3 and 4 of the instrument panel, as well as the center console at the rear.
Air supply to footwell
All air flow is realized through supply channels 5 and nozzles under the front seats.
Air conditioning and fuel economy
Proper operation of the air conditioner helps to save fuel.
The air conditioner operating in cooling mode reduces engine power and affects fuel consumption. Therefore, to minimize the turn-on time of this mode as much as possible, remember the following:
- To save fuel, turn on the
mode. - Turn on the
mode when opening the windows or the sliding/tilting roof panel* while driving. - Open the doors and windows for a short time if the vehicle becomes very hot due to exposure to the sun.
Warning: The result of fuel economy is a reduction in the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
Key operated air conditioner
When the ignition is switched on, the parameters of the air conditioner programmed to the key are automatically reproduced.
The air conditioner settings are programmed automatically and correspond to the key used. When the engine is started, the parameters programmed for this key are automatically reproduced. Thus, each driver can automatically reproduce his preferred setting with his key, without resorting to a new setting each time.
Warning: If another driver uses your key and changes the settings of the air conditioner, then in this case the parameters set by this driver are programmed to your key
Solar-powered fan/solar-powered roof panel
If there is sufficient solar radiation, the fan continues to operate on solar energy in fresh air mode after the ignition is switched off.
After turning off the ignition, the fan automatically switches to power from the solar energy located in the roof panel. For optimum ventilation, vents 3 and 4 must be open.
The ventilation works only when the roof panel is closed/raised.
When the engine is turned off in circulating mode, the air conditioner automatically switches to outside air supply mode.
Autonomous heater and fan
The auxiliary heater/fan can operate independently of the engine.
Heater works independently of the engine. The principle of its operation is based on the combustion of fuel. It is intended primarily for warming up the passenger compartment and makes it easier to defrost the windows.
Heater can be used as an additional heater both when the engine is off and when driving (e.g. during engine warm-up).
Autonomous fan also works independently of the engine and effectively helps to reduce the temperature in the passenger compartment of a car left in the sun.
The autonomous heating/ventilation mode is controlled by the driver information system (FIS). In the menu, you can program the time and duration of the switch-on. The running time of the auxiliary heater/fan can vary from 15 to 60 minutes. The auxiliary heater/fan can also be switched on and off by radio remote control*.
With a programmed timer and when switched on by radio remote control, the operating mode (independent heater or fan) is determined by comparing the temperature set by you with the relevant controls of the heating/ventilation or air conditioning system with the actual temperature in the passenger compartment.
Warning: If the fuel level in the tank has reached the reserve, then the auxiliary heater cannot be switched on.
The auxiliary heater fan switches off immediately when the battery is weakly charged. To save the battery, do not turn on the auxiliary heater several times in a row.
Operation of the autonomous fan heater does not require any special adjustment of the air conditioner. It is recommended to open the air supply.
When operating a vehicle on RME fuel (diesel engine) the use of an independent heater is not allowed.
To speed up the cooling of the auxiliary heater, after each switch-off, the circulation pump and the fan supplying hot air continue to operate for some time.
