(* You are reminded that compressor operation is cut off by the system logic under the following conditions:

coolant fluid pressure > 28 bar appr.;

coolant fluid pressure < 2.5 bar appr. (circuit drained);

engine temperature > 111°C (only TD);

full load (temporary cutoff for appr. 8 sec. with engine rpm over 2000 rpm). (only TD).

This operation is also determined by the logic of the ignition/injection control unit (only petrol) (refer to the corresponding sections).
