Remember! The air conditioner turns on automatically only when the air temperature is about +5°C. At lower temperatures, its use is simply impractical.
The air conditioner reduces not only the temperature, but also the humidity in the cabin, and prevents the windows from fogging up. If the temperature drops too much and it gets cold, the temperature is leveled by turning the regulator 2 to the right.
When the air conditioner is running, all windows and the ventilation hatch must be closed.
If the interior of a stationary vehicle has become very hot due to high outside temperatures, you should open all doors and windows for a while before starting to move so that the hot air can escape.
Please note! Condensed water is discharged from the air conditioner to the outside. Therefore, a puddle may form under the car when it is parked. This is normal and not a sign of poor sealing of the body.
The air conditioner must be checked regularly and cleaned of accumulated dirt. It is best to wash it with water.
Under extreme engine loads, when the coolant becomes very hot, the air conditioner may automatically turn off for a while.
With the installation of an air conditioner, which weighs about 40 kg, the unladen weight of the car increases accordingly. See section "Technical specifications". If the air conditioner does not work, there may be one of two reasons:
- outside air temperature below +5°C.
- the fuse has blown. Check and replace if necessary.
In case of other damages, for example after an accident, or if it is depressurized, immediately turn it off and do not turn it on again. Requires special maintenance.
