(*) Bear in mind that operation of the compressor is cut off by the system logic in the following conditions:
- coolant fluid pressure > 28 bar appr.;
- coolant fluid pressure < 2.5 bar appr. (circuit discharged);
- engine temperature > 111°C (only TD);
- full load (temporary cut out for appr. 8 sec. with engine speed over 2000 rpm) (only TD).
This operation is also determined by the logic of the injection-ignition control unit (only petrol) (see the corresponding section).
