Button (switch) logic
All buttons with an integral LED state lamp conform to the following operating logic.
When the state lamp is lit the relevant func tion is operational. From this condition, pressing the button will de-activate the
function, confirmed by the LED being de-energized and the pres ence of a single audible 'beep'. A single 'beep' will
accompany the state lamp to confirm function re-selection.
1. 1. ON / OFF and manual fan speed.
Pressing this knob activates the system ON at the last settin g or switches the system OFF. Rotate the knob clockwise to
increase and anti-clockwise to decrease fan speed and thus airflow.
With the system OFF, ram air is available by the selected air di stribution mode (indicated by state lamp). Air flow will NOT
occur unless a manual air distribution mo de is selected, this air being unconditioned and flow dependent upon vehicle
speed.
• NOTE: The blowers are inhibited until the engine coolant te mperature is > 35°C, unless DEFROST, FACE or DEMIST modes
are selected.
2. 2. Manual Air Recirculation
Closes the outside air intakes of the blower asse mblies and recirculates air within the vehicle.
Two options of control are available :
Timed Recirculation. Pressing the button for less than 1.5 seconds lights up the LED (confirmed by a single bleep).
This provides recirculation of interior air for a period of approximately 5 minutes. Pressing the button within five
minutes returns the system to fresh air intake mode.
Continuous Recirculation. Pressing and holding the button for more than 1.5 seconds lights up the LED (confirmed by two beeps). This provides continuous reci rculation of interior air. Pressing the button returns the system to fresh air
intake mode.
• NOTE: Avoid using manual air recirculatio n for prolonged periods in cold weather, this may result in interior misting of
glass.
3. 3. Temperature Scale Selection
Press the appropriate button to display temperatures in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
4. 4. Manual Fan Speed
Rotating the fan speed control knob (to vary fan speed) will di splay a proportional number of horizontal bars on the LCD.
There are total of eleven manual fan speeds available.
5. 5. Temperature Display
Indicator of internal demand temperatur e or external ambient temperature. The external ambient is updated every 4
seconds when the road speed > 25 km / h.
6. 6. Scale
Selected temperature scale, Celsius or Fahrenheit.
7. 7. External temperature
Symbol indicates when this option is selected
other sensors. This feature prevents the effects of sudden changes in air outlet temperatures due to factors such as:
Recirculating air from the engine cooling pack at low vehicle speeds Sudden changes in ambient temperature The effects of water splash
Motorised In-car Aspirator.
An intake grille (mounted on the fascia , outboard of the steering column and below the EOD vent) houses the aspirator
thermister. The remotely mounted motor / fan assembly draws ca bin air through the grille and thus over the thermistor; a
flexible hose connects both components.
The electrical resistance of the thermistor changes in response to variations in air temperatur e, this change being converted
into an electrical signal. The A/CCM uses this signal to adjust the temperature, airflow and air distribution from the air
conditioning unit.
Coolant Temperature Signal.
This signal is supplied to the A/CCM from the instrument cluster, the input being required to:
Provide blower inhibit control , to avoid the system in heat ing mode delivering cold air when the coolant temperature is below 35°C unless DEFROST is selected. To progressively increase the fan speed up to maximum blower speed during warm up control. To assist in the control of the outlet temperature. To avoid possible pump or valve damage ca used by ice particles in the coolant.
Compressor ON Signal.
This signal monitors the compressor relay to confirm the compressor operating state and so provide relevant fault
information.
Servo Motor Control.
Flap position, which directs the flow of air through the system, is controlled by servo motors; these may be driven in either
a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction by signals from the A/ CCM. Motor, thus flap position, is monitored via a feedback
potentiometer which is situated within the motor housing.
Servo motors control the following flaps:

System Self-test
Control Panel Interrogation Procedure
The control panel has a self-diagnosis feature, and is capable of displaying and clearing stored fault codes.
Climate control is an integrated system, therefore it is recommended that the PDU is used for fault diagnosis. The fault
codes displayed with the control panel self -diagnosis feature are not as comprehensive as those of the PDU. The PDU will
display the relevant fault code, fault co de description and information of the system peripherals at the time the fault
occurred.
Fault Code Extraction and Deletion Procedure
Error information is stored in the A/CCM up to a maximum of 5 faults. Should a sensor fault occur there will be an audible
beep and the message Er will be displayed on the control panel display for 5 seco nds after ignition on. Please note that this
will happen only once in any ignition switch cycle. The error source may be accessed by the following procedure
This procedure must be completed through one complete cycle, 1 through 6
• NOTE: * Actuator codes do NOT equate to system fault codes.
• NOTE: Only codes 11, 15 and 21 (see Fault Code List ing) will cause audible beep and 'Er' display.
• NOTE: If '0' is displayed, there are no stored faul t codes, wait 30 seconds to allow system self-test.
The control panel display will flash repeatedly indicating a list of two digit numbers (see table for code analysis). Should a code be displayed accompanied by an audible beep, the fault is current and therefore still present within
the system. A code displayed without an accompanying 'bee p' indicates a fault had previously occurred but is not
present within the system.
• NOTE: It is advisable to check all areas indicated with cleared fault codes. Such faults may re-occur if intermittent
problems are present in the system.
To delete stored and cleared fault codes press 'R' and 'FAC E' buttons simultaneously. After investigating and correcting all stored faults, press the 'Push Off' button to restore normal operation with
default panel settings, ie AUTO at 24°C.

Panel Communication Check
The panel communication check veri fies the inputs and outputs from the control panel to the A/CCM.
Actuator Check Procedure
The system self test procedure drives all the actuator moto rs, to check their operation. If an actuator is operating
incorrectly or operating outside of its limi ts then a fault code will be present.
Before commencing with the actuator check procedure, ensure the ca r is operating under normal conditions.
1. 1. Switch ignition OFF.
2. 2. Press and hold the RECIRC and AUTO buttons simult aneously, switch ignition ON and run the engine.
3. 3. All the control panel LEDs and all LCD segments will flas h on and off. Any function LED indicator which does not
flash on / off suggests a fault condition within that area of the panel or, with the LED.
Any LCD element which fails to flash on / off indicates a fault within the display element or panel.

Clock - Clock
Description and Operation
The analogue clock is mounted in the center of fascia vent assembly and can only be removed after withdrawal of the fascia
vent assembly.
The clock is protected by a 5A fuse in lo cation F6 of the LH heelboard fusebox and illumination is controlled by the dimmer
module in the same manner as the other instruments.
The time displayed can be advanced using the positive button and retarded using the minus button.
