Cooling functions most efficiently when the
wind ow s a re closed. If the p assenger
compartment has heated up considera bly
after a long period in direct sunlight, briefly
op en the wind ow s so that the hot air can
escape quickly.
When cooling (air conditioning
compressor) is switched on condensation
forms, which is expelled from the underside
of the vehic le.
At least one air vent must be open w hile
cooling (air conditioning comp ressor) is on,
in order to prevent the ev aporator from
icing up due to lack of air m ov ement.
At low outside temp eratures the c ooling
