In Part 1 and Part 2 we covered how to keep your A/C running smoothly in your Mercedes-Benz and signs to be aware of for A/C problems, so closing out the series it’s only we present what you can do to help keep your Mercedes-Benz cool in summer.
A few tips are compiled below:
Use A/C Wisely: Don’t run the A/C at the highest level or for a long period of time. Moderation is best to prevent overworking the system.
Park in the Shade: Whenever possible, park your car in the shade. This can significantly reduce the internal temperature of your car.
Cool Down the Car Before Driving: Open all the doors before getting in to your Mercedes-Benz to let the hot air escape. Put the windows down for the first few minutes of driving to help any hot air to escape.
A/C Recirculation: When using the A/C, set it to recirculate to cool the air inside the car more effectively, rather than pulling in hot air from outside.
Use Sunshades and Window Visors: If you are parking outside, use a sunshade or window visor on your windshield to block direct sunlight.
Cover Your Seats and Steering Wheel: To help prevent seats and the steering wheel from getting too hot, use seat covers and a steering wheel cover. Aim for light-colored covers over dark colors.
Regular A/C Maintenance: Most importantly…have your A/C regularly maintained by an expert Mercedes-Benz mechanic who will check out everything to ensure proper A/C functionality!
