I mportant!
Before reconnecting the driver’s airbag connector, it is necessary to apply a checking
procedure of the system:
- Check if ai rbag indicator from the instrument panel is on, when the contact is set
on.
- Connect the igniter to the airbag connector (to the wiring) and check if the airbag
indicator is off. - Set the contact off, connect the airbag connector instead of the inert igniter and
attach the airbag on the steering wheel (requiret tightening moment is 0.65 daNm). After remounting, perform the system checking by means of the CLIP tester.
If everything is correct, unblock the UCE airbag (see chapter 88 “Unblocking UCE
airbag”). If is not correct, see chapter “Diagnostic”.
- Check if t he airbag i ndicator from the instrument panel is on for 3 seconds from
setting the cont act on, t hen it is off and i s remaini ng off.
AT T E N T I ON!
No n-observing of prevision prescriptions may cause un abnormal operation of the
sy stem, leading to the airbag undesirable starting.

AIR REPARTITION CONTROL
The knob
(B) is controllin g air repartitio n flaps
(1).
Position
Ai rflow is di rected t owards the dashboard
side air vents.
Each air vent has three adjustments: - open or closed;
- upward or downward directed
- left or right directed
Position
Airflow is directed towards all dashboard air
vents and towards passengers legs.
Position
Airflow is directed towards passengers legs.
Op erating principle
Position
Airflow is distributed between all air vents,
defogging air vents of front side windows,
windscreen defogging air vent and passengers
legs.
Position
For a better e fficiency, the dashboard air
vents are t o be closed. The whole airflow is directed towards de-
fogging strip and air vents of the front side win-
dows.
Position
Entire cockpit is outside isolated and out-
side air penetration is not allowed, climate con-
trol blower operation being stopped.
AIR QUANTITY CONTROL
The airflow ra te cycled in the cockpit is
settled by the (C) knob position, corresponding
to the four speeds of the climate control blower.
The more speed step is bigger the more airflow
is bigger.
REMARK
For a better efficiency of the windscreen
defrosting or defogging, t he (C) knob m ust
be placed on the last position.
In order to stop the climate control blower
operation, rotate the knob on “ 0” position.

DISMOUNTIN G
Disconnect the battery.
Dismount :
- dashboard (see chapter 57 “dash-
board”);
- central console;
- electric windows control connectors;
- front pillars coverings;
- driving post cross beam;
- climate control box protector;
- gas purge vessel;
- climate control box gasket;

the eight attachment screws;
- attachment screws of the climate c on-
trol unit and release the climate control blower
after disconnecting it.
- RACV attachment screws (1) on the
climate control box.
Clamp t he two hoses from the heating ra-
diator by means of the MOT 453 device.
Disconnect then the fast couplings from the
RACV heating radiator, recovering the c ool-

- acoustic plate ( 2);
- mixing a nd distribution fl aps control

REMOU NT I NG
Perform the dismounting operations in the
reverse order. Fill up the cooling fluid and perform the cool-
ing circuit purging (see chapter 19 “ Filling –
Purging cooling circuit”).
Check :
- good operation of the flaps cables;
- good attachment of t he air ducts.
The require d tightening moment of t he
RACV attachment screws (1) on the climate
control box is of 0,6 daNm.

Operating principle
The climate control assembly is enabling outside air penetration in the vehicle climate control
unit.
Climate controls:
A – air temperature adjustment
B – air distribution in the cockpit
C – air quantity adjustment in cockpit
Air temperature adjustment
Control knob (A) is enabling the obt aining of t he de sired tempera ture in t he cockpit. By
turning to the right the knob (A), the air temperature is increasing.
Air distribution in the cockpit
Ai r distribution in the cockpit is obtained by means of rotating t he knob (B) in the desired
position.
Position
Airflow is directed towards the dashboard air vents.
Position
Airflow is directed towards all dashboard air vents and passengers l egs.
Position
Airflow is directed towards passengers legs.
Position
Airflow is directed between all a ir vents, front side windows defrosting vents, windscreen
defrosting vent and passenger legs.
Position
Entire airflow is directed towards windscreen and side windows defrosting air vents. For a
more substantial efficiency, close the dashboard air vents.
