Air conditioning
●
The air c
onditioner c
ompressor has been
temporarily switched off because the engine
coolant temperature is too high.
●
Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air
conditioner checked by a specialised work-
shop.
Special Characteristics
If the humidity and temperature outside the
vehicle are high, condensation can drip off
the evaporator in the cooling system and
form a pool underneath the vehicle. This is
normal and does not indicate a leak!
Note
After starting the engine, any residual humid-
ity in the air c
onditioner could mist over the
windscreen. Switch on the defrost function as
soon as possible to clear the windscreen of
condensation.
