Maintaining the air conditioning
The air conditioning system is sealed and major maintenance
should only be carried out by a qualified technician. To maintain
the system in peak condition however, owners should ensure that
the system is operated for a short period every week (even during
the cold winter months); with the engine at its normal operating
temperature, run the air conditioning for at least ten minutes while
driving at a steady speed.
Surplus water, produced by the dehumidifying process, is expelled
from the system via drain tubes beneath the car. This may result in
a small pool of water forming on the road when the car is
stationary and is not a cause for concern.
Cooling
After starting the engine, press the air conditioning switch to
operate the air conditioner. Set the blower speed, air distribution
and temperature controls to suit your requirements.
Rapid cooling
Start the engine and switch on the air conditioning.
Set the blower to maximum speed and switch on air recirculation
(this will prevent warm air being drawn into the car from outside).
Once the interior is cool, switch off air recirculation and then reset
the blower as required.
