JAGUARS-TYPEClimate Control
64Control Panel
The control panel is a combined unit
incorporating the air conditioning control module
(A/CCM).
Heater/Evaporator and Blower
A single blower, heater and evaporator are fitted
to the passenger side of the vehicle behind the
fascia. Air intake is from the passenger side via
leaf screen slots (see page 16). A particle filter is
mounted forward of the bulkhead in a rain/water
collector box. Mounting of the heater/evaporator
unit and blower assembly is by three bulkhead
fixings and one locator pin.
Condensate drainage is integral with the
heater/evaporator unit and therefore has no
separate drain tubes. The heater matrix is a dual
heater unit with three heater pipes, two inlets of
16mm diameter and one outlet of 19mm
diameter.

Underbonnet Components
Both V6 and V8 engine configurations include a
water valve controlled heating (dual) system and
the valve is mounted behind the right-hand side
headlamp. The V8 engine system, as with current
cars, has a water pump to supplement idle water
flow through the heater and this is mounted on
the right-hand side of the cooling pack. The pump
is held in a mounting rubber, which is pushed
over two pillars on the rear of the fan shroud and
held with two screws.
Condenser
The black-painted aluminium condenser is located
to the front of the combi-cooler and mounts to its
end tanks. The condenser end tubes push into two
grommets, which are in turn held in two steel
brackets, screwed to the radiator end tanks. The
bottom of the condenser is screwed directly into
the radiator tanks. A radiator cooling duct clips
onto the condenser end tanks and also pushes
onto the lower radiator channel. The duct ensures
that all available airflow is directed through the
cooling module.

68Heated wiper park or (where optionally fitted)
heated front screen.
With the engine running, due to the high current
draw, press to switch on the heated wiper park to
defrost the wiper park area, or where fitted, press
to switch on the heated front screen for rapid
defrost/demist.
Heated wiper park automatically operates in cold
weather, and may stay on continuously. It is
automatically switched on when ÔDEFROSTÕ is
selected. If manually selected, the heated wiper
park will automatically switch off after 10
minutes.
Heated front screen is automatically switched on
when ÔDEFROSTÕ is selected. It will automatically
switch off after 4 minutes. The heaters will switch
off, or not operate, if low battery voltage is
detected.
Heated Rear Screen
With the engine running due to the high current
draw, press to switch on the heated rear screen
for rapid defrost/demist. The rear screen heater
will be automatically switched off after 10
minutes.
In cold conditions, the heated rear screen
operates automatically. Selecting ÔDEFROSTÕ will
also turn the heated rear screen ON. The heaters
will switch off, or not operate, if low battery
voltage is detected.
Air Distribution
Air distribution is automatically controlled when
ÔAUTOÕ is selected. Manual control can be
achieved using the air distribution buttons.
Heat at Rest Feature (V8 engine vehicles
only)
Interior heating may be continued after the
engine has been switched off by turning the
ignition to position ÔIIÕ. The climate control system
will continue to provide heat to the vehicle
interior until the engine cools down. Excessive use
will cause a low battery voltage, which may
prevent the vehicle from being started.
Voice Activated Control
Some functions of the climate control system can
be operated with the Voice Activation System
(when fitted).
A full operating description is given in the Voice
Activation Handbook included with the vehicle
literature pack.
