Note:   The lead to Ter. 12 in control unit K69 is present in all vehicles but is open on the vehicle side in vehicles without AC.

              Vehicle interior should be warm, set thermostat to "Cold", ventilation to full load; compressor switches on automatically

              In some vehicles, it is necessary to accelerate briefly or to wait while until the compressor has built up pressure and switches.
