t  The air intake (in fresh air and air recirculation position) should be clear of any obstruction or components.
t  The vehicle should not be in direct sunlight.
t  The engine must be warm.
t  The fault memory of the Climatronic control unit -J255-/Air conditioning control unit -J301- has been consulted and cleared, the basic adjustment has been completed and the coding of the Climatronic control unit -J255-/Air conditioning control unit -J301- → Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS 5051 has been checked.
