Air-conditioning - For comfort and safety

When you are hot, you get tired more quickly and risk losing concentration when driving. However, a Ford air-conditioning system can help, by allowing you to set the temperature you want inside your vehicle, regardless of the prevailing temperature. So you're comfortably cool, concentrate better and thereby drive more safely.

But to cool down the passenger compartment regardless of the outside temperature or humidity, the air-conditioning system has to function at its highest efficiency. Which means - just like your Ford - it should be checked at regular intervals.

The professional Ford air-conditioning service

To ensure a continuous and reliable operation of the air-conditioning system, Ford recommends checks at regular intervals. Please ask us for advice.

Our air-conditioning check is a thorough visual and operational inspection, designed to spot any faults or failings in the system before they affect the performance of the system or cause permanent and expensive damage. The check can include:

• a comprehensive operational inspection of all functional elements
• a visual inspection of the refrigeration system for contamination and damage
• inspection for leaks with a UV detection device
• a technical performance test
• a detailed inspection report
