5 Air conditioning tips: Health & Safety

Tip 1: Beware of large temperature differences
It is very tempting to put the air conditioning at a low temperature, especially when the outside is very hot. However, too great a temperature difference is not recommended. A cold has increased and the transition from cold to warm feels like a slap in the face. That is why we advise you, especially when getting in and out regularly, to lower the air conditioning by a maximum of 6 degrees than the outside temperature.


Tip 2: Switch off the air conditioning 5 minutes before arrival
Fungi like to nest in a warm and humid environment. The evaporator behind the dashboard of your car is susceptible to mold formation due to condensation. You can prevent this by switching off the air co five minutes before arrival at your destination.


Tip 3: Switch on the air conditioning also during cold and humid periods
Are your windows covered by cold or humid weather? The air conditioning is also very useful to allow your steamed windows to be easily and quickly damaged. The evaporator of your air conditioning cools the incoming outside air. Cold air contains less water vapor, which removes moisture from your car via the condensation drain. The supplied dry air then ensures a safe view.


Tip 4: Check the air inlets for clogging
Each car is equipped with air intakes for the supply of fresh outside air. Sometimes these air intakes are blocked by leaves and twigs. Therefore, check this regularly and remove any dirt that may be present. You find the air intakes mostly under the bonnet and just in front of the windscreen.


Tip 5: Replace dust and pollen filter on time
To keep dust particles, pollen and exhaust fumes as far as possible, your air conditioning is equipped with a dust and pollen filter. Have this filter checked during the annual air-conditioning check so that it can be replaced in time. In this way you remain assured of fresh air in your car and nasty odors remain outside.
