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.

Detach from clips the front wiring from the
central part of the climate control box.
Dismoun t, then:
- attachment screws of the climate con-
trol unit on the climate control box. - attachment screws of the central part
of the climate control box.
Disconnect and release the climate control
unit from the climate control box.

RACV attachment screws (1) on the climate
control box is of 0,6 daNm.
