1.
CAUTION: If contaminated re frigerant is detected DO
NOT recover the refrigerant into your R-134a OR R-12
recovery/recycling equipment. Take the follow actions:
Repeat the test to verify contam inated refrigerant is present.
2. Advis
e the customer of the contaminated A/C system and any
additional cost to repair the system. The customer may wish to
return to the repair facility performing the last A/C repair.
3. Recover the contaminated refrigerant using suitable recovery
only equipment designed for capturing and storing
contaminated refrigerant. This equipment must only be used to
recover contaminated refrigerant to prevent the spread to other
vehicles. As an alternative, contact an A/C repair facility in your
area with the proper equipment to perform the repair.

WARNING: USE EXTREME CARE AND OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS RELATED TO THE USE OF REFRIGERANTS.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION: The A/C refrigerant analyzer mu st be used before the recovery of any vehicle' s A/C refrigerant. Failure to
do so puts workshop bulk refrigerant at risk of contamination. If the vehicle A/C refrigerant is contaminated, refer the
customer to return to the repair facility that carried out the last A/C repair. If the customer wishes to pay the additional
cost, use the A/C recovery equipment that is designated for recovering contaminated A/C refrige rant. All contaminated A/C
refrigerant must be disposed of as hazardous waste. To prevent possible pe rsonal injury, for all equipment, follow the
equipment manufacturer's procedures and instructions.
• NOTE: Jaguar Cars Ltd. supports the effi cient usage, recovery and recycling of the refrigera nt used in passenger car air
conditioners. Jaguar Cars Ltd. recommend s the use of UL-approved recovery/recycling equipment during any A/C system
repair and recharge procedure which requ ires that the system be evacuated.


1. Us
e UL-approved recovery/recycling equipment to evacuate
and recover the A/C system.
Follow t h
e equipment manufacturer's procedures and
instructions for use of equipment.

r temperature from the center, right and left
hand vents is slightly cooler than the foot outlets; however this temperature
cannot be varied independently.
The instrument panel side vents, not shown, feature similar controls.

scription

Engine speed (valve closed with the engine not running) Demand (set) temperature In-car temperature sensor Solar sensor
Re-heating of the refrigerated air is contro lled by the time that the water valve is open (i.e. not energised) over a six secon d
interval. The duty cycle of the water valve, the time open / time closed, is controlled by the A/CCM.
Maximum heating demand will cause the water valve to be fu lly open (not energised) to allow maximum coolant flow
through the heater matrix.
At Maximum cooling, the water va lve will be fully closed (energised) to prevent hot (engine temperature) coolant entering
the heater circuit; the pump however will continue to circulate coolant through both the heater matrix and water valve
bypass.
The water valve defaults open when the ignition is OFF.
Under engine stall conditions, when ignition is ON, the water valve will be open.
Water Pump Assembly
Located in the same area as the water valve, the water pump continually circulates coolant through the heater matrix
except when the conditions below apply:
The engine coolant is below 16°C. The ignition is OFF. Under engine stall conditions, when ignition is ON. Control panel OFF
Non return valves
The heater bypass hose has a non-return valve, located between the engine feed and return hoses. The valve prevents the
water pump from recirculating coolant fro m the heater at low engine speeds.
The flow indicator arrow embossed on the valve bo dy MUST point towards the coolant header tank.
CAUTION: Coolant flow will be compromi sed if either valve is fitted incorrectly. Observe the correct direction.
A second non-return valve is located betw een the water pump and water valve. This valve prevents hot coolant from flowing
into the heater with the engine switched off. The flow indicator arrow MUST point towards the water pump.
Heater feed and return hoses
The heater feed and return hoses are connected to the engine feed and return hoses by 'Quick-Fit' connection unions. The
feed hose has a Norma R20 connector and the return hose a Norma push and seal connector. The coolant system bleed
joints have Cobra clamps. All remaining hose connections have spring band hose clamps.
The engine feed hose is connected to the engine bypass hous ing and the engine return hose is connected to the engine
water pump.
