At low ambient temperatures and a cold engine, air may not enter the passenger compartment through the lower air ducts for 150 seconds (maximum). This is not a malfunction. Once the engine has warmed up sufficiently, normal warm air will flow through the bottom vents.
Keep all windows and sunroof closed when operating the air conditioner.
After parking the car in the sun, drive for two to three minutes with the windows open in order to quickly remove hot air from the passenger compartment. Then close the windows so that the air conditioner can cool the air in the cabin faster.
The air conditioner should be turned on at least once a month and run for approximately 10 minutes. This will prevent the failure of the air conditioner due to lack of lubrication.
If the arrow of the coolant temperature gauge reaches the mark «Hot» (heat), turn off the air conditioner.
If the coolant temperature rises significantly, the air conditioner will turn off automatically. This can happen, for example, when the engine is idling for a long time on a hot day.
