Lada Largus can be supplied with or without air conditioning. The heating and ventilation control unit will differ only in the presence of an on / off button for the air conditioner (E).
The air conditioner provides:
- decrease in air temperature in the cabin;
- accelerated fogging of glasses.
Button E is used to turn the air conditioner on or off.
The air conditioning system will not turn on if the blower fan mode switch is (handle A) is in position 0 (fan off).
Note. The air conditioner will not turn on if the ambient temperature is below 0°C. This is not a sign of a malfunction, but is provided for by the design. The air conditioner can be used in all conditions, but it does not work when the outdoor temperature is low.
The operation of the air conditioning system leads to an increase in fuel consumption, especially when driving in urban areas.
In vehicles equipped with an air conditioning system without automatic mode, turn off the air conditioner when it is not needed.
Tips to help you reduce fuel consumption and protect the environment:
- Drive with open wind deflectors and raised windows.
- If your car has been parked in very hot weather or in direct sunlight, we recommend that you ventilate the interior for a few minutes before starting the engine.
Note. If you do not use the air conditioner for a long time, it is necessary to turn it on briefly once a week with the engine running to restore the lubrication layer on the internal parts of the compressor and seals.
