Manual air conditioning  
Overview of the manual air conditioner  
The manual climate control system warms, cools, and removes humidity from the air.  
The air conditioner is most effective when the vehicle interior is kept closed. If there is a build-up of heat inside the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed up the  
cooling process.  
Certain functions of the air conditioner depend on the vehicle equipment.
