Air conditioning
Air Conditioning checks and recharging
Like a refrigerator, your air conditioning system functions using refrigerant gases. These are pushed around a circuit, continually cooling your interior and pushing heat outside.
However, your vehicle’s air conditioning system is far more complex and requires regular maintenance. The compressor, condenser, evaporator and filters all need to be checked regularly to keep the system working correctly.
Air conditioning is important not only for your comfort, but also your safety. In winter, your air conditioning is perfect for heating the cabin and de-misting your windscreen. Automatically controlled systems allow a constant temperature, however cold it is outside. The air conditioning sytem also filters out impurities, such as dust and pollen from your vehicle.

Advice
Try to use your air conditioning system regularly, at least every couple of weeks. This keeps the system fresh and helps to filter out impurities in the air.
You should regularly have your air conditioning refreshed as bacteria can build up in the system, especially if it isn’t used for a while. This can cause bad odours, so think about having the system refreshed every year.
When your car has been parked outside in hot weather, make sure to open all doors for a few moments before getting in. This lets the hot air to escape before you turn on the engine and your air conditioning.
