Note. The air conditioning system is installed on cars only in Active trim levels (Enjoy) and Cosmo.
The complex provides low-inertia regulation of air temperature, practically independent of the vehicle speed. The amount of air entering the passenger compartment is mainly determined by the mode of operation of the fan, so it must be turned on even while driving at high speed.
Outside air can enter the passenger compartment through the door windows with the windows down and the air blower located in front of the windshield. The air from the blower can enter the passenger compartment through the windshield blower nozzles, side and center nozzles, and also through the lower nozzles of the heater housing.
The volume, temperature, direction and intensity of air flows are regulated by switches installed in the control unit for the heating, air conditioning and ventilation system.
The direction of air flow through the side and central nozzles is changed by turning the flaps with the handle installed in the center of the nozzle upwards...
...down...
...or blinds to the right...
...to the left.
The amount of air supplied through the nozzles is regulated by the handles located next to each nozzle.
When the handle is turned all the way to the right, the damper opens completely (maximum air flow).
When turned all the way to the left, the damper closes completely, blocking the air flow.
Depending on the equipment, the vehicle may be equipped with an automatic dual-zone climate control system, manual air conditioning, or only a heating and ventilation system. This subsection describes in detail the controls for the dual-zone climate control system with automatic control as the most complex and most complete set of functions.
Control units for manual air conditioning and heater systems are unified in terms of controls with the dual-zone climate control system unit. The control algorithm and the location of the controls in all three blocks are almost the same. The difference lies in the presence of certain switches: in the manual air conditioning system unit, there is only one air temperature controller in the cabin, and the blower fan speed is set by a separate controller; in the heater control unit there are no switches associated with the control of the air conditioner, and switches for the electric heating of the front seats and steering wheel (instead of them, decorative caps are installed).
Helpful Hints
For more efficient operation of ventilation and heating at a vehicle speed of less than 50 km / h and when driving through especially dusty sections of roads with closed windows (to create excess air pressure in the cabin, preventing dust suction) We recommend turning on the heater fan with the switch at low or maximum speed.
To quickly eliminate fogging of the rear window and free it from ice and snow, turn on the glass heating switch.
If you do not use the air conditioner for a long time, it is necessary to turn it on briefly once a week with the engine running to restore the lubrication layer on the compressor parts and seals.
