LO demands the maximum COOLING performance from the system with the blowers operating automatically at maximum
speed.
HI demands the maximum HEATING performance from the system with the blowers operating automatically at maximum
speed.
Pressing and holding either temperature selection button co ntinuously changes the setting temperature by steps of 1°,
every 0.4 seconds.
• NOTE: The interior temperature does not change when the temperature scale is changed between Celsius and Fahrenheit,
however the temperature display will chan ge to the nearest equivalent number.
Examples:
17C 61F 17C 66F 19C 66F
• NOTE: When operating in HI or LO mode and the AUTO butt on is pressed, the system will adopt the nearest automatic
control temperature setting:
LO AUTO DISPLAY INDICATES 17° C or 61° F HI AUTO DISPLAY INDICATES 31° C or 90° F
• NOTE: When switching the system on us ing the AUTO button, the system will display the previous temperature setting,
except under the following conditions:
LO, system OFF, auto display indicates 17° C or 61° F HI, system OFF, auto display indicates 31° C or 90° F
17. 17. Face
Pressing this button will direct all airflow to the center and side face vents only; pressing again will return the system to
automatic control mode.
• NOTE: When in AUTO mode and in a hot c limate, a bleed of cold air is delivered to foot level. This bleed automatically
shuts off when the inte rior temperature has cooled sufficiently.
18. 18. Bi-Level
This push-on / push-off button will direct air to the center and side face vent s and the front footwells. Pressing the button
(off) will return the system to automatic control mode.
19. 19. Foot
This push-on / push-off button will direct the majority of airflow to the front footwells with a small bleed of air to the fron t
and side screens. Pressing the button (off) will return the system to automatic control mode.
20. 20. Demist
Pressing this button will direct air to the front and side screens and the front foot wells. Pressing the button (off) will return
the system to automatic control mode.
Fascia Air Outlets

Parts List
Air temperature from the centre (and EOD) vents is slightly cooler than the foot outlets; however this temperature cannot
be varied independently.
The EOD vents, not shown, feature similar controls.
Automatic Operation
Initial setting
Should a new A/CCM be fitted, it will 'power-up' in the OFF mode; switching ON will result in the following settings:
After initial start up the system operating conditions will be st ored in the A/CCM to the conditions which prevailed prior to
ignition OFF.

Air Conditioning Control Module (A/CCM)
Location

The A/CCM is located on the right hand side of the air conditioning unit and controls all system functions.
The temperature within the passenger compartment is continually compared with the temperature selected on the control
panel LCD. The A/CCM receives data input signals and compares these with signal s from the system temperature sensors
and feedback devices. Based on this information the A/CCM adjusts the air outlet temperatur e, airflow and distribution from
the air conditioning system in to the passenger compartment.

The heater matrix temperature sensor is a thermistor which changes its electrical resistance in response to changes in air
temperature converting a temperature rating to an electrical signal.
The sensor connector is located on the RH SIDE of the air conditioning unit. The sensor bead is located inside the unit down-
stream from the heater matrix and measures the 'post-heater' air temperature, before the air is distribu ted to the cabin The
sensor provides a signal to the A/CCM which adjusts the duty ratio of the water valve to provide the required air
temperature from the heater.
Ambient Temperature Sensor
The sensor is a thermistor which changes its electrical resistance in response to changes in air temperature, converting a
temperature rating to an electrical signal.

The ambient temperature sensor measures exterior air temper ature and is mounted on the crossbeam, in front of the
condenser on the LH side.

The signal from the ambient sensor allo ws the A/CCM to compensate for the ambient conditions and to display the
information on the control panel - updated every four (4) seconds.
Sensor response is 'damped' by the A/CCM and ther efore does not appear to react to temperature chan
ges as quickly as the

The In
strument Cluster is the primary electronic control module for the speedomete
r, tachometer, coolant temperature, fuel
level, driver information (Message Centre) and warning lamps.
The Instrument Cluster also:
- provides input / output informatio n signals for use by other modules.
- acts as a protocol converter (software language translator - the languages used on each network are very similar, but
neither can be directly interp reted by the opposite system) for communication between all modules on both the CAN and
SCP multiplexed networks. The Instrument Cluster is the only module on the vehicle which communicates between the two
networks.
Instrument Cluster Gauges

*Not used on all markets. Refer to the Drivers Handbook.
Although the gauges look like conventional analogue gauges, each pointer is driven by a stepper motor to provide more

r to PDU User Guide
The c
o
mplexity of the electronics involved with the Instrument Cluster and the two multiplexed communication networks
which are connected to it, preclude the use of workshop genera l electrical test equipment. Therefore, reference should be
made to the PDU User Guide for detailed instructions on testing the Instrument Clus ter and associated circuits.
The PDU systematically test s and analyses all functions of the Instrument Clus ter, the various systems controlled by it and
individual sensors which are attached to each separate system.
Where a fault involving a remote sensor e. g. water temperature sensor, is indicated, before replacing the component, some
basic diagnostic methods may be necessary to confirm that connections are good and that wiring is not damaged.
Diagnostics using the PDU is via the CAN network, accessed at the diagnostic connector on the car.
Replaceable Parts
The only replaceable part s
are, General Illumination Bulbs, Direction Indicator Warning Bu
lbs and Main Beam Warning Bulb,
which are all of the conventional filament type. Other warning lamps are LEDs and are not replaceable.
