AIR CONDITIONING

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

82-23

l

Maximum A/C Switch: For selection of maximum A/C when the ignition is on or rest heating when the ignition is 
off. A LED above the switch is illuminated when maximum cooling or rest heating is selected.

l

Distribution Switches (Windscreen, Face and Footwell): For manual selection of air distribution in any 
combination of windscreen, face and footwell outlets. A LED above each switch illuminates when a selection is 
made.

l

Defrost Programme Switch: Activates a programme that automatically selects the windscreen heater on, 
activates the compressor and changes the system settings to direct dry heat to the windscreen. A LED above 
the switch is illuminated while the defrost programme is active.

l

Rear Window Heater Switch: Enabled only with the engine running. Pressing the switch energises the rear 
window heater for a set time period, until the switch is pressed again or until the engine stops, whichever occurs 
first. A LED above the switch is illuminated while the heater is on.

Inputs and Outputs
Five electrical connectors provide the interface between the ATC ECU and the vehicle/heater assembly wiring.

Both the low and high line systems receive ambient temperature, engine coolant temperature, engine speed and 
vehicle speed inputs in K bus messages from the instrument pack. If the K bus messages are missing or faulty, the 
ATC ECU adopts the following default values:

l

Ambient temperature = 0 

°

C (32 

°

F)

l

Engine coolant temperature = 80 

°

C (176 

°

F)

l

Engine speed = 800 rev/min

l

Vehicle speed = zero.

If a fault develops in the input from the temperature selector switch on the control panel, the ATC ECU adopts a default 
value of 24 

°

C (75 

°

F).
