WARNING Poor visibility increases the risk of collisions and other accidents that cause serious personal injuries. x Always make sure all windows are clear oice, f snow and condensation for good visibility to the front, sides, and rear. x Maximum heating output and fast defrosting will only be possible after the engine has reached operating temperature. Wait until you have good visibility before driving off. x Always make sure you know how to properly use the heating and ventilation systems a s well as the rear window defroster that you will need for good visibility. x Never use air recirculation for long periods of time. When the air conditioner is off and recirculation mode is on, condensation can quickly form on the windows and greatly reduce visibility. x Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not needed. WARNING Stale air causes driver fatigue and reduces driver alertness, which can cause accidents, collisions and serious personal injury. x Never switch off the fan for a long period of time and never use air recirculation a long period of time because no fresh air will come into the passenger compartment. NOTICE x If you think the air conditioner is not working properly or may be damaged, switch it off to help prevent more damage. Have the air conditioner checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. x Air conditioner repair requires specialized knowledge and special tools. Volkswagen recommends that you see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. x Do not smoke when air recirculation is switched on. Smoke drawn into the ventilation system can leave residue on the evaporator and on the dust and pollen active carbon filter, resulting in permanent odors whenever the air conditioner is switched on. If the air conditioner is switched off, the fresh outside air will not be dehumidified. To help keep the windows from fogging over, Volkswagen recommends leaving the air conditioner (compressor) switched on. Press the !# button. The indicator light in the button must come on. When it is very hot and humid outside, water condensation can drip from the air conditioner evaporator and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak. Keep the air intake slots in front of the windshield free of ice, snow and leaves in order to maintain proper functioning of the heating and ventilation systems. Maximum heating output and defrosting performance are not possible until the engine has reached operating temperature.
