¥
5) Air recirculation slider: pointer set
at U, air is allowed to enter the car
from the outside.
RECIRCULATION
When the slider is in position T,
only the inside air is circulated.
IMPORTANT This function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air
is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tun-
nel etc.). You are advised against using
this facility for long periods.
IMPORTANT Do not use the air
recirculation function when the
weather is wet/cold as this will make
the inside of the windows mist up con-
siderably.

CONTROL SYSTEM
(where fitted)
The system uses refrig-
erating fluid R134a as it
will not pollute the envi-
ronment if it accidentally leaks.
Under no circumstances use flu-
id R12, which is incompatible
with the system’s component
parts.
CONTROLS fig. 34

perature (mixture of warm and cool

mate control system on and off. When

turns on the fan at first speed. The sys-
tem is on when the light on the switch
is on.
