Air conditioning
Economic use of the air-conditioning
sy
s
t
em
When the air conditioning is switched on, the
compre
ssor consumes engine power and has
influence on fuel consumption.
If the vehicle interior has overheated due to
excessive solar radiation, it is best to open
the windows or doors to allow the hot air to
escape.
While in motion, the air conditioning should
not be switched on if the windows are open.
If the interior temperature can be reached
without sw
itching on the air conditioning, the
fresh air mode should be used.
For the sake of the environment
Saving fuel reduces emissions.
Faults
If the air conditioning does not work at out-
side temper
atures above +5°C (+41°F) then
the system is faulty. This may be due to one
of the fo
llowing reasons:
●
One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse
and replace if necessary ››› page 80.
●
The air conditioning compressor has
switched off temporarily because of in-
creased engine coolant temperature
››› page 97.
If you cannot repair the fault yourself or
where cooling power continues to drop,
switch off the system. Contact a specialised
service.
