Information on air-conditioning
compressor
The 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 approx. 36 °F (2 °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.

humidity, condensation can drip from the
evaporator and form a pool under the vehicle.
This is normal and not a sign of leakage.
