Climate Control System - General Information - Climate Control System Fiesta 1996 (08/1995-02/2002)
Description and Operation

A pollen filter which filters out particles larger than 0.003 mm is installed on the right-hand side of the vehicle in front of the bulkhead (LHD variants).

Instead of Bowden cables, air distribution is controlled via a splined shaft and the interior temperature is regulated via a potentiometer which is integrated into the control panel. The potentiometer operates the control valve, which controls the flow of hot water through the heat exchanger in accordance with the selected interior temperature.

The heat exchanger and (depending on the model variant) the air conditioning evaporator are easily accessible from the engine compartment.

The vehicle is also equipped with recirculated air mode, which can be activated by operating a switch on the control panel.
