(*no longer BOLD*)
If change in pressure is greater than 1 psi, the check valve downstream will not open even if the ram air door has been selected open.
Air conditioning with LP ground unit
(*no longer BOLD*)
Do not use conditioned air simultaneously from packs and LP ground unit (to avoid chattering of the non-return valves).

APU may be started and operated even if the LOW OIL LEVEL ECAM advisory is displayed.
Maintenance action is required within the next 10 hours of APU operation. NOTE: Logbook entry is NOT required w/ this message.
Avionics Ventilation
(*no longer BOLD*)
The airplane electrical system should not be powered for more than 2 hours without a cooling system when the OAT is above 49° C.
