Maintenance - Vauxhall Astra Owner's Manual

Im portant
The c ooling system (cooling com pressor)
only operates with the engine running.
When the air cond itioning system is
switched on, c ondensation will form and
discharge from the underside of the
vehic le.
When the a ir conditioning system is operat-
ing, at least one air intake must be open so
that the ev aporator d oes not ice up d ue to
lack of air.
If the windscreen m ists up during damp
weather, switch air conditioning on and
adjust as described in "Demisting the
windows" – see p age 151.
Window m isting can lead to ac cidents
due to lack of proper v ision.
If no cooling or drying is required, switch
the rear air conditioning or c ooling system
off to sa ve fuel.

ation the cooling (cooling c om pressor)
