Cooling and Heating Tips

Cooling

• Press AUTO and the system controls the compressor, outlet temperature, air direction and fan speed to reach your set temperature.
• Using recirculated air cools the cabin faster and helps fuel economy.

For the fastest cooling:

1. 1Make sure the A/C filter is clean and not blocked.
2. 2Press AUTO, then set the driver and passenger temperatures to LO. The system sets everything to maximum cooling.

Heating

• Press AUTO and the system controls the outlet temperature, air direction and fan speed to reach your set temperature.
• Using recirculated air warms the cabin faster.
• For heating, foot mode with the A/C off is recommended.
• In AUTO the system gives priority to keeping the windows clear, so it often blows to the windscreen and feet. This can be noisy and leave your feet cool. If the windscreen is clear, set foot mode manually. With lots of people on board, if the windscreen mists up, choose foot + windscreen mode.

Good to know

• Keep the A/C condenser (at the front of the car) clean – dirt or blockage reduces cooling.
• In warm, humid weather you may see mist coming from the vents when cooling quickly. This is normal.
• In cold weather the compressor may not start even if the A/C indicator is lit.
• A puddle of water under the car after using the A/C is normal – it is condensation from the drain pipe.
• Refrigerant slowly reduces over time. If cooling gets weak, have it checked by an authorised Jaecoo service centre.
• Run the A/C for at least 5 minutes every month with a window open. This keeps the system lubricated and stops smells.
• If you climb long hills or sit in slow traffic for a long time with the A/C on, the engine may overheat. Watch the high coolant temperature warning light and turn the A/C off if the engine overheats.
• Once the cabin is cool, the compressor switches off automatically to save power and fuel. In mild weather it cycles on and off – this is normal.
• When accelerating hard, overtaking or climbing, the compressor may switch off automatically. If it does not and the car feels short of power, turn the A/C off.
