Information on the air-conditioning
compressorThe air-conditioning compressor:
– Can switch off briefly to ensure sufficient engine cooling if the engine is operating under
extreme load.
– Automatically switches off at temperatures below 38 °F (3 °C) and cannot be switched on,
even manually.
– Operates most effectively with the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been in the sun for a long
time, it is a good idea to ventilate the interior
briefly with the windows open.
– Depending on the outside temperature and humidity, condensation can drip from the
evaporator and form a pool under the vehicle.
This is normal and not a sign of leaks.
Information on automatic load switch-offIf the charging condition of the battery is critical,
the following air-conditioning or heating functions
are restricted initially and then switched off.
– Heated seats
– Heated rear window/External mirror heating
–Fresh-air blower
– Air-conditioning compressor
