Heating and ventilation
The normal heating and ventilation system
described below can be supplemented by an automatic heating regulation (Thermo­tronic)*.
With the Thermotronic* the desired in­
terior temperature is attained as quickl y as possib le and held co nstant. Outs ide and in­
s id e temperat ure sensors measure the ex­
isting temperatures continu ously and pass
the
value s to an e lec tron ic contr ol unit which then alter s the warm air tempera tur e
accordingly. Strong sunshine is also taken
into account by the system.
The "The
rmotronic" makes regulation of
th e heating by hand unneces sary.
Controls
Rotary switch A -Blower and air supply and air conditioner* cut-off
The air flow can be regulated in four stages.
Between positions 1 and 0 the fresh air sup­

p ly can be regulated without blower assist­

ance .

In position 0, air supp ly and blower are off.

Thi s can prevent unclean air from outside

from enteri ng the vehicle . However, as the
windows could th en mist ove r, th e a ir sup­

ply shou ld on ly be switched off briefly.

Normal heating and ventilation

On vehic les with a fresh air filt
er* this is onl y

necessary for a gas type pollution . Du st,

pollen etc.
will be held back by the filter.

Operating instructions
• Ensure that the sensor betvveen the
windscreen defrost outlets in the centre of
the instrument panel and the air grille next
to the radio is not covered.
• If, after switching on the ignition,
all sym­
bols in the display area flash for about 15
seconds, there is a fault in the system -con­
tact a Volkswagen dealer.
Notes for both air conditioning
systems
• To ensure that the heating, ventilation
and air conditioner can work properly, the air
inlet in front of the windscreen should be
kept free of ice, snow and leaves.
• The heat output depends
on the coolant
temperature -the full heat output is there­
fore available when the engine IS warm.
• The stale air escapes through openings
in the luggage compartment side panels.
Therefore when loading the luggage com­
partment ensure that the openings are not
covered .
• 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.
Notes for the normal air condi­
tioner
• All controls except the rotar y switch A and buttons 0 and E can be set to any inter­
mediate position.
•
To prevent the windows from misting up
the blower should be running slowly when driving at low speeds.
Using air conditioners economi­
cally
In cooling operation the air conditioner com­
pressor places demands on the engine and
therefo re influences the fuel consumption.
To keep the period switched on as short as possible, the following points should be
noted:
• If the
in side temperature is very high
after the car has been parked in the sun, it is recommended to open doors or windows 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 w ithout switching on the air
cond itioner the fresh air operation should
be selected (does not apply to Climatronicl.
Operating faults
• Should the air cond i:ioner not work at
any time, either .
- the ambient temperatu re IS below about +5 °C,
-or the fuse has blown.

Check fuse and if necessary r
enew it - see

page 119. If the troub le is n ot due to a defec­

tive fuse, SWitch the system off and have It
checked.

- the air conditioner
has svvitched off due

to coolant temperature being too high -see
page 45.
• If the cooling output drops off, switch
the AlC
off and have the system checked.
