Heating and air conditioning system

Using the air conditioning system economically

The compressor on the Climatic uses power from the engine when in
cooling mode which will effect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which
the interior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight
in order to allow the heated air to escape.
The cooling system should not be switched on while travelling when the
window is open.
The desired interior temperature can also be achieved without switching
in the cooling system just by switching to fresh air mode.
For the sake of the environment
When you economize on fuel, you also reduce pollutant emissions.

Operational problems

If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher
than +2 °C, there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be:
•
The fuse of the Climatic is defective. Check the fuse, replace it if
necessary ⇒ page 249.
•
The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time
because the coolant temperature of the engine is too hot ⇒ page 14.
If you are not able to rectify the operational problem yourself, or if the
cooling capacity decreases, switch the cooling system off. Contact a
specialist garage.
