CHECKING PRESSURES
TOOLS : 1 Charging station and 2 Thermometers.Observing the
preliminary conditions, as well as vehicle equipment and checks
(see page 287) :After the air conditioning has been operating for
three minutes, record the following parameters :
- The temperature of the air coming out of the central vents See the table on
page 290).
- The High Pressure.
- The Low Pressure.Compare the values recorded with the table below, or
the graphs.
