Air conditioningSpecial Servicing Tools and Equipment

The in-car temperature and humidity are regulated by the electronically controlled air conditioning system. The system comprises four subsystems:

  • heater matrix, supplied with water from the engine cooling system
  • refrigeration
  • vacuum
  • electronic control

Apart from the ambient temperature sensor and the aspirated in-car temperature sensor, most of the components are housed in the air conditioning unit (Fig. 1) situated behind the dash board, or in the engine compartment.
