MU LTI-POINT INJE CT ION CHARACT E RISTICS
〈 SIRIUS 32 with 90 pins computer is managing the ignition and the injection.
〈 For diagnostic, CLIP Sagem tester is to be used.
〈 The injection system in use is a sequential multi-point type, injection and ignition phases
controlling being based on the SIRIUS 32 computer program logic, starting from the signal received
from the RPM sensor.
〈The pr esence of the anti-pollution indicator OBD on the instrument panel, that is lighted for
3 seconds when setting the contact on, is specific to the vehicles observing pollution norms EURO
2000. The injection computer of these vehicles is provided with diagnostic system type OBD (“ On
Board Diagnostic).
〈 Idling regime correction is subject to:
-c limate maintenance on/off control (air conditioning)
-e lectrical balance on vehicle, as a result of connecting different electric consumers.
〈 EURO 2000 specific vehicles are provided with two oxygen sensors located in front of the
cata lyst (upstream oxygen sensor) and after catalyst (downstream oxygen sensor).
〈 At EURO 2000 specific vehicles, the fuel supply is performed at constant pressure (3.5 ±
0.2 bar), the pressure controller placed in the fuel tank being provided for this purpose.

AIR CONDITIONING
62 - 1
General
The purpose of the air conditioning unit is to produce a decrease of the tempera ture in t he
passengers compartment a nd to obt ain a l ower value tempera ture c ompare d to the e xterna l
environment one, reducing in the same time the air moisture.
MAINTENANCE
For a vehicle equipped with air conditioning, during the year it is recommended:-the checking of the refrigerant fluid filling;
- the cleaning and the air-blowing of the condenser and the cooling radiator fins;
- the checking of the condensation removal pipe on order not to be clogged.
For important leakage repair, for any components replacement (compressor, condenser, etc)
and if moisture was noticed in the air conditioning circuit, replace the dryer filter tank and drain
the unit; the same is valid also in case the conditioning circuit remains open without protection
covers more than 10 minutes.
IMPORTANT !
During winter, it is recommended the frequent start of the system, in order to prolong
the lifetime of t he compressor and of the whole system.
T he vehicle equipped with an air c onditioning system shall be not exposed for more
than 20 minutes i n painting c abin where there are temperatures higher than 80 °C.
It is obligatory the use of t he refrigerating agent and compressor oil type prescribed
by the manufacturer.
It is absolutely forbidden to perform welding works on the elements of the ai r condition
circ uits.
The fi lling of the air c onditioning system c an be pe rformed only by means of c harging
units and observing the instructions of the manufacturer. For mechanical or body
operations it is recommended piping protection in order to avoid t heir disconnection
by accident.
Avoid the drip of the oil compressor on the painted vehicle carriage body.
For component replacement implying t he circuit draining, it is absolutely necessary
the use of new parts and of a special oil for compressor.
