temperature is above a specific level.
Therefore condensation may form
and drip from under the vehicle.

switch the cooling system off to save
fuel. When the cooling system is
switched off, no engine restart will be
requested by the climate control
system during an Autostop.

Depending on the vehicle equipment,
the display will indicate AC when
cooling is actived or Eco when the
cooling is deactivated.
