"Engine off" time

"Engine off" time



At outside temperatures above + 2 ° C there may be a risk of the windscreen becoming misting up in connection with starting depending on how long the engine has been turned off. This is caused by condensation on the evaporator. When the ignition is turned on, SID calculates how long the engine has been turned off and sends information to the ACC control module. Based on "Engine off" time as well as cabin and outside temperature, the ACC control module calculates if there is a risk of the windscreen becoming misting up. If this should be the case, the air distributor is put in the floor position and the fan to 5.5 A during max 30 sec. After this, the program returns to normal mode of operation. The longest amount of time is reached at + 10 - +20 ° C outside temperature and an "Engine off" time of approx. 1 hour.
