Blower function to reduce battery drain
The climate system's blower functions normally while the engine is running.
However, when the engine is switched off (even if the ignition is switched to positions I or II), the blower control will be automatically switched off to avoid unnecessary battery drain.
The following points pertain if the ignition is on but the engine in not running:
• To restart the blower, turn the control knob
to the setting of your choice.
• After approximately 2 minutes, the blower
speed will be reduced to avoid battery
drain.
You can reset the blower speed at any time.
Please be aware that the system has been designed to reduce the blower's speed again after 2 minutes, until the engine is started.
If the battery becomes drained:
• LOW BATTERY, FAN IS REDUCED will
be displayed in the text window in the
instrument panel.
• The yellow warning light in the instrument
panel (see page 58) will also light up.
