Running-in instructions for the compressor
After the initial filling of the refrigerant circuit or after flushing (blowing through) the refrigerant circuit, the whole volume of refrigerant oil is in the compressor.
To avoid damaging the compressor, the compressor must be loaded as follows:
–  Position the rotary switch for air distribution on “person flow”.
–  Open all dash panel vents.
–  Position the fresh-air blower switch at least on speed 3.
–  Position rotary switch for temperature selection on the left stop (minimum temperature).
–  Start engine.
–  Switch on air condition system once idle stabilisation has been achieved (after approx. 5 seconds).
–  Run engine without interruption for at least 2 minutes at idle speed.
   Maximum engine speed: 1500 rpm1.
–  Subsequently switch off engine.
This shuts off the oil distribution in the refrigerant circuit and the compressor can be fully loaded.
