The cooling device of the air conditioner lowers the temperature of the air, reduces its humidity, removes dust, and pollen during the flowering period.
The heater heats the air and regulates its temperature. The intensity of injection is regulated by the compressor.
The switches for temperature mode, air flow distribution and fan operation intensity are functionally similar to the switches of the group panel of the heating and ventilation system.
At the top of the panel are the switches for the cooling unit and for air circulation.
Control lamps are built into the buttons. Air cooling is accompanied by the operation of the fan at medium speed. If desired, the turnover can be increased.
In case of strong heating of the engine coolant, when the temperature gauge approaches the red sector (e.g. when driving uphill with a trailer), the cooling device must be turned off.
By pressing the circulation button , the air conditioner is switched to the interior air circulation mode with a minimum proportion of outside air.
At the same time, the control lamp lights up.
This mode of operation of the air conditioner is switched on for a short time to prevent smoke and unpleasant odors from entering the passenger compartment.
Air conditioning only works when needed. When the outside air temperature drops to +4°C, the need to use the air conditioner disappears and it automatically turns off.
Air conditioner operating modes
Extremely fast cooling
In hot weather, with a long stay of the car under the scorching rays of the sun.
Open all windows for a short time, ventilate the interior.
- Turn on the cooling device of the air conditioner
- Turn on air circulation
- Lower the temperature controller
- Set the fan to full speed
- Both airflow regulators on the symbol
- Open all blowers
The interior air circulation is switched on for a short time. Prolonged operation in this mode leads to a deterioration in air quality.
Normal cooling
When driving outside built-up areas and on the motorway.
- turn on cooler
- turn on circulation
- temperature controller - down
- fan operation mode - at your own discretion.
- both airflow regulators on the symbol
- close all blowers
Creating a temperature layer "cold head and warm feet"
- Enable cooler
- Turn off circulation
- Temperature controller - optional
- Fan - at your own discretion
- Both airflow switches down to and symbols
- Blowers can be opened
It is best to set the temperature regulator to the middle position, in which warm air is directed upwards.
Ventilation (conditioning) without charge air cooling
- turn off cooler
- turn off circulation
- temperature controller - down
- fan - optional
- both airflow switches to the symbol
- air ducts open
For additional air ventilation in the leg area, lower the lower air flow switches down to the symbol.
Heating
- turn off cooler
- turn off circulation
- temperature controller - up
- fan - optional, but not at full speed
- both airflow switches - down to the characters and
During the period of intense heating of the passenger compartment, close the blowers. If necessary, direct the upper side blowers to the door windows.
The central blowers can be slightly opened to supply fresh air to the head.
Defrosting glasses
- turn off cooler , needed to reduce humidity.
- temperature controller - up.
- fans - optional.
- upper air flow switch - up to symbol
- lower air distributor - up to symbol
- close all blowers
Glove box cooling
With the air conditioner on (cooler ) cooled air is supplied to the storage box.
Note: The air conditioner only works when the engine is running.
During operation, the condensed water is discharged downwards under the bottom of the vehicle.
When the air conditioner is switched on, at least one outlet vent must always be open so that the evaporator does not freeze due to a lack of circulating flows.
Air conditioner care and maintenance
In order to ensure uninterrupted reliable operation of the air conditioner, it is recommended, regardless of weather conditions, to turn it on once a month for a short time (only possible at temperatures above +4°C).
Faults of any kind and complexity should only be eliminated at a service station, as this requires special equipment and knowledge.
Additional measures will be required in case of steam cleaning of the engine or when drying the car in an electric oven after painting.
The air intake grilles on the left and right in front of the windshield must not be covered by leaves or snow.
