Air Conditioner Control Tips
If the air inside the car is too hot, open all the windows for a few minutes to cool it down.
When the air conditioner is running, all windows must be closed to prevent warm air from entering the car interior.
When the car is moving slowly, for example in a traffic jam, engage a lower gear. This will increase the engine speed, which in turn will increase the rotation speed of the air conditioning compressor.
On steep climbs, turn off the air conditioner to prevent the engine from overheating.
During the winter or when the air conditioner is not used regularly, turn on the air conditioner once a month for a few minutes. This prevents deterioration of the lubrication of the internal parts of the compressor and keeps the air conditioning system in the best technical condition.
