To increase the acceleration of cooling, you can turn on the air recirculation mode for a short time.
Observe the instructions for recirculation mode with air conditioning or Climatronic.
For the heater and air conditioner to work properly, the air intake in front of the windshield must not be blocked by ice, snow or fallen leaves.
When the air conditioner is running, condensation may drip from the air conditioner evaporator and accumulate in a puddle under the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak in any system!
Attention.
- To ensure safety on the road, it is important that the windows of the car are not covered with snow or ice and do not fog up. Therefore, it is necessary to know the rules for managing heating, ventilation, cleaning frozen or misted windows and air conditioning.
- The air recirculation mode must not be left switched on for a long time, as «stale» air increases the fatigue of the driver and passengers and reduces the ability to concentrate, and under certain conditions also causes fogging of the windows. The risk of an accident increases. Turn off the recirculation mode if the windows start to fog up.
Note
- The air is expelled through the outlet vents in the luggage compartment walls.
- When the recirculation mode is on in the car, it is not recommended to smoke, as the smoke from the car interior settles on the air conditioner evaporator. This leads to the appearance of a persistent odor during the operation of the air conditioner, such a problem can only be eliminated through complex and expensive work (evaporator replacement).
- For proper operation of the heater and air conditioning system, the deflectors must not be covered by foreign objects.
