Condensation may drip out from under-
neath the vehicle. This is normal and
not an indication of a malfunction.
i
Under certain circumstances, e.g.
when the fuel system is too hot and
needs to be cooled, the cooling switch-
es on again automatically. The red lamp
on the
± button the automatic cli-
mate control panel flashes.
After cooling the fuel system sufficient-
ly, the air conditioning switches off
again and the red lamp stops flashing.

If you press the ± button on the au-
tomatic climate control panel and it
starts to flash, this indicates that the
air conditioning is losing refrigerant.

conditioning cannot be turned on
again.
