Water or water vapor under the vehicle
In the case of high outside humidity and temperatures, condensation can drip from the air conditioning system evaporator and pool under the vehicle. This is norma
and does not mean there is a leak in the system.
When outside humidity is high and temperatures are low, condensation can evaporate when the auxiliary air conditioning is running. If this is the case, water vapor
may escape under the vehicle. This does not indicate vehicle damage.
Stationary air conditioning cannot be switched on
If the stationary air conditioning runs for a long time when the charging connector is not connected, the high-voltage battery will drain. The stationary air conditioning
does not start if the battery charge level of the high-voltage battery is not sufficient.
Noises when the stationary air conditioning is switched on
Operating noises when stationary air conditioning is switched on are normal and not an indication of a fault.
