Air Intake, Air Outlet; Pollen Filter; Maintenance Of Cooling System - Vauxhall Corsa Owner's Manual

Air intake
The air intakes in front of the windscreen on
the far left and right-hand sides of the
engine compartment must be kept free of
leaves, dirt and snow.
Air outlet
Do not cover the air outlets when stowing
items in the luggage compartment storage
compartments.

Pollen filter

The pollen filter cleans the air entering from
outside and filters dust, soot, pollen and
spores from the interior air if the air
recirculation system 3 is active. The active
carbon layer 3 eliminates most odours and
harmful ambient gases from the air.
The filter must be replaced at the intervals
specified in the Service Booklet.
Note
If the windscreen is misted due to damp
weather, temporarily set the system as
described under "Window demisting".
Cooling 3 functions most efficiently when
the windows and sun roof 3 are closed. If
the passenger compartment has heated
up considerably after a long period in
direct sunlight, briefly open the windows
and sun roof 3 so that the hot air can
escape quickly.
When cooling 3 (air conditioning
compressor) is switched on condensation
forms, which is expelled from the underside
of the vehicle.
At least one air vent must be open while
cooling 3 (air conditioning compressor) is
on in order to prevent the evaporator from
icing up due to lack of air movement.
For trouble-free operation of the electronic
air conditioning system 3, do not cover
over the sensor between the air vents in
front of the windscreen.
Maintenance
In order to provide consistently good
operation, cooling 3 (cooling compressor)
must be switched on for several minutes
once per month irrespective of the
weather or the time of year. Operation
with cooling 3 (cooling compressor) is not
possible at low outside temperatures.
If a fault occurs, consult a workshop. We
recommend a Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
