Its use in the cabin with initial temperatures above the 25 degrees Celsius and especially in traffic jams burdens the consumption by at least 20%.

The temperature difference that must exist inside the cabin in relation to the environment should not exceed them 10 degrees Celsius. In this way, we avoid continuous operation of the air conditioner.

End, it is good to remind the mechanic to adjust the operation of the cooling and heating system at least 2 times a year. Any malfunction of it will again lead you to increased consumption
