Use the A/C in winter, too!
You know the situation only too well: before you can even start your car in humid weather, you are stopped in your tracks. The car windows are steaming up and have to be wiped off with a leather or special anti-condensation cloth. There are always car drivers, however, who don’t seem to see the need for this safety precaution and make do with tiny view-holes. This kind of dangerous, “half-blind” driving, however, can lead to far worse than being registered for a road safety offence.

Automotive air conditioning means a decisive plus in terms of road safety, relaxation and comfort.
Air conditioning makes all the difference when going on holiday. It ensures pleasant temperatures inside the vehicle, which makes for relaxed travelling especially during the hot season. Medical experts and accident research specialists agree that the risk of an accident rises by as much as 30% when the temperature in a car goes up from 22°C to 37°C. The driver’s coordination, condition, and concentration deteriorate. Long journeys in a hot car are even likely to trigger off those dangerous seconds of sudden sleep.

An annual A/C check-up is important!
An air conditioned car means a decisive plus in terms of road safety, relaxation and comfort. In order to operate to your full satisfaction, however, it must be serviced by a qualified workshop once a year. Normal leakage continuously reduces the refrigerant level in the air conditioner – and therefore its performance. Without regular check-ups, the system would soon be working at its highest capacity all the time. Little later it would break down altogether due to lack of lubrication and compressor cooling performance. Costly repairs would be the inevitable consequence.

Bad odours from the car air conditioner
More and more so, air conditioning is becoming standard with new cars. Hardly any buyer of a new car wants to do without pleasant aeration of the vehicle interior. In order to warrant the reliable performance of the A/C system, however, it is necessary to have regular check-ups carried out by qualified workshop personnel within the ordinary inspection cycles. Even so, it is possible that an unpleasant, musty odour invades the car interior. This is the result of the natural combination of heat, humidity and darkness.
