1. Air conditioning is standard on later high performance models and optional on low performance models. Together with heating, the system allows the vehicle to reach any acceptable temperature inside the vehicle, and also reduces the humidity of the incoming air, helping to cool even when it is not needed.
2. The cooling part of the air conditioning system works just like your home refrigerator. The compressor, connected by a belt from the crankshaft pulley, pumps refrigerant in gaseous form from the evaporator. The compressed refrigerant passes through a condenser where it loses heat and turns into a liquid. After that, the coolant returns to the evaporator where it absorbs heat from the air. The refrigerant becomes a gas and the cycle repeats.
3. Various auxiliary controls and sensors protect the system from overheating and overpressure. The idle speed is further increased when the system is on to compensate for the load from the compressor.
4. Although the refrigerant is not poisonous, it produces a highly toxic gas when ignited. Liquid spilled on the skin causes frostbite.
5. It is desirable to carry out all maintenance work on the air conditioner by a specialist.
6. Do not overheat the air conditioner pipes above 110°C, for example, when welding or drying the body.
7. Do not use the air conditioner if it is damaged.
