COMPRESSOR ENGAGEMENT - DESCRIPTION

2.2

The special button (ice symbol) on the climate control system control unit switches on the air cooling and dehumidification circuit, activating the air conditioning compressor.

The above button enables operation of the air cooling circuit, but actual compressor activation is also dependent upon activation of:

- the linear sensor, located on the coolant circuit that locks air conditioner activation if coolant pressure is too low or high;

- the engine control unit that excludes compressor operation in accordance with engine management mode; e.g. in the case of high engine temperatures or high engine load (sudden acceleration).

See descriptions 5040 AIR CONDITIONING CASING AND COMPONENTS

The compressor supply circuit is controlled by a specific relay and protected by a specific fuse both located in the engine compartment junction unit.

1.9 JTD 8v, 1.9 JTD 16v, 2.4 JTD 20v

The special button (ice symbol) on the climate control system (manual or automatic) control unit switches on the air cooling and dehumidification circuit, activating the air conditioning compressor.

The above button enables operation of the air cooling circuit, but actual compressor activation is also dependent upon activation of:

- the linear sensor, located on the coolant circuit that locks air conditioner activation if coolant pressure is too low or high;

- the engine control unit that excludes compressor operation in accordance with engine management mode; e.g. in the case of high engine temperatures or high engine load (sudden acceleration).
