Heating and ventilation control (Opel Omega A)

The heating and ventilation system is based on the principle of air mixing: by mixing cold and warm flows in the car's interior, the required temperature is set and maintained at any speed. The intensity of air supply depends on the speed and the fan mode. At low speed, the fan should be on.

Heating system switch group

Air must be able to flow freely. Therefore, make sure that the air intakes located on the left and right in front of the windshield are not blocked by leaves or snow.





The air supply from outside should be constant, blocking the heat if necessary for a short time, for example to prevent smoke from entering the cabin. To do this, set the air supply regulator to the symbol №№№ and close all the air blowers.





Besides these, there are four more intermediate positions.

With the help of a compressor, the intensity of air injection can be increased, especially at low vehicle speeds and the need to more quickly establish a comfortable temperature in the cabin or to quickly defrost icy windows.





Air must be able to flow freely. Therefore, make sure that the air intakes located on the left and right in front of the windshield are not blocked by leaves or snow.

Central air ducts

Provide comfortable ventilation of fresh or heated air - depending on the weather and the position of the temperature switch.

To do this, open both nozzles by turning the built-in knurled rings. In the "0" position, they are completely closed. If you need to close only one air duct, set the lever of the movable guide plates to the central position.

Adjust the air flow intensity using the fan.

Direct the air flow at your own discretion by turning the built-in guide plates.

Side blowers

Provides air supply to the cabin. Four nozzles temperature depending on the position of the regulator.

Opened by turning the knurled adjustment rings. In the "0" position - closed.

The lower nozzles are closed by built-in movable plates towards the doors.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal directions of air flow at your own discretion.

During the cold season, the best option is when air flows are directed along the doors.

Ventilation of the cabin in summer

Set the temperature regulator to the lower position.

Turn on the fan, for maximum ventilation of air at the top - set both air distribution switches to the symbol all air blowers open.

For air ventilation below - switches on the symbol

The convenience, comfort and well-being of passengers largely depend on the correct adjustment of the ventilation and heating system of the passenger compartment, especially in the cold season!

By directing heated air to the feet and installing central air blowers at the passengers' request, a temperature layer of air is created in the cabin with a pleasant "cold head and warm feet" effect.

Air flow to the rear seats: Bring the center air vents together and point them slightly upward.

Heating

The efficiency of the heating system depends on the temperature of the coolant, and will be maximum only with a well-warmed engine.

To quickly heat the interior, set the fan control to position 3.

Heating of the lower part of the passenger compartment in the foot area

The heated air is also supplied to the feet of the rear seat passengers. Set the temperature switch up.

Turn on the fan, lower both air flow distribution controls down, close the central air blowers.

Blowing warm air, defrosting and drying windows

Lift all the switches of the heating system group panel up. Turn on the fan, close the central air blowers, turn on the rear window heating.

Side air blowers: when defrosting windows, direct the upper nozzles towards the side windows to increase the flow of warm air.

Electrically heated rear window, exterior rear view mirrors

Works only when the ignition is on.

The switch is located on the group panel on the left.

Turns on by pressing down. After approximately 15 minutes of operation, it automatically turns off so as not to waste unnecessary electricity and not to overload the power supply system.

When cleaning the window, be careful not to damage the heating filaments.

Electric heated seats

Regulated by thermostat.

Front seats: Two switches are located on the cluster panel.

Rear seats: Two control buttons are located on the rear side of the center console.
