Air
conditioner*
in cab

Description

T".e air conditioner is a combined cooling srd heating system which provides the
r-aximum possible comfort all the year
rcjnd.

Tpe air conditioner works only when the en-

pie
is running and the ambient tempera- t.re is above about + 5 degrees C.
,ien air conditioner is switched on it re-
bjces not only the temperature inside the
•
ehicle but also the air humidity. When the

=-nbient
air humidity is high this not only
Iakes
the vehicle occupants feel more
comfortable but also prevents the windows
""Dm
misting up.
~ne cooling system works best when all the
v.indows are closed.

Notes

Pools of
water
under
the
vehicle

• When the ambient temperature is high
and
the air very humid, condensed water

can
drip off the evaporator and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is quite nor­

mal
and does not indicate a leak.

Operating
faults

• Should the air conditioner not work at
any
time, either:
- the ambient temperature is below about + 5 degrees C,
- the fuse has blown.

Check
fuse and if necessary renew it - see

page
122. If the trouble is not due to
a
defec­
tive fuse, switch the system off and have it
checked.

- the air conditioner has switched off due to the coolant temperature being too high -
see
page 41
also.

• If the cooling
output
drops off, switch the
A/C
off and have the system
checked.
Using air
conditioner

economically
In cooling operation the air conditioner
com­

pressor
places demands on the engine and
therefore influences the fuel consumption.

To
keep the period switched on as short as
possible,
the following points should be

noted:

• If the inside temperature is very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun, it is recommended to open doors or win­

dows
briefly to enable the hot air to
escape.

• The air conditioner should not be
switched
on during a journey if the windows

or
sliding/tilting
roof*
are open.
• If the desired interior temperature can be attained
without
switching on the air condi­
tioner, the fresh air operation should be se­
lected.
Recirculating
air
switch

If badly contaminated air is to be prevented
from entering the vehicle, e.g. when driving
through a tunnel, the recirculating air switch in the instrument panel can be
pressed.

When
the recirculating air system is
switched
on, a small warning lamp lights up in the switch.

However,
the recirculating air system

should
only be used for a short period other­

wise
the windows will mist up.

The air outlets are located in the roof area
above the rear seats.
The outlets can be closed or opened separ­
ately.
By pivoting the outlet grilles the direction of
air flow can also be adjusted.
This switch can be used to change over to recirculating air. This will prevent badiy con-
taminated air from entering the vehicle, e.g.
when driving through a tunnel.
Recirculating air operation should only be
used briefly otherwise the windows wil
mist up.

Note

On vehicles with air conditioner a recirculat­ing air switch is located in the bank of
switches in the instrument panel.

Additional
heater*

With the additional heater the rear seating
area
can also be comfortably heated.
Its blower can be switched on
with
a three

stage
rotary switch in the dash panel
(left
hand illustration).
Temperature regulation is carried out to­ gether
with
the temperature regulation of
the normal heater - see page 55 .
On
vehicles
with
an airconditionertempera-
ture regulation forthe additional heater is by way of a rotary control on the
right
adjacent
to the blower switch (centre illustration).

Clockwise
- increased heat output

Anti-clockwise
- decreased heat output
On
vehicles
with
seating arrangement the
outlet is located under the centre row of
seats.
This outlet can be closed by pushing it in.

On
the Delivery van, Multivan and Camper
the outlet is located behind the
front
pass­
enger's
seat.
