1.2 8v, 1.6 16v, 1.3 JTD 16V, 1.9 JTD 8V, 1.9 DIESEL · from 10/2000, up to 10/2000 · Climate control system

Description

The vehicle climate control system involves a duct/distributor unit with a heater. The air conditioning system includes the heater and has the function of producing cold, dehumidified air by switching on the compressor and the refrigeration system.

The climate control is operated by acting on the three knobs in the dashboard:

• the left knob mechanically controls the mixture flap between hot and cold air;
• the right knob, mechanically operated via a cable, controls the opening of the flaps which regulate the distribution of air flows;
• the centre knob electrically controls the ventilation of the air at four different speeds; two versions are available: one with three speeds and one with four speeds;

The air recirculation button and the button for switching on the air conditioning compressor are located in the lower part of the control panel

See E6021 COMPRESSOR ENGAGEMENT

The control panel is lit up when the side lights are on.

The fan circuit is protected by a specific fuse, in the junction unit under the dashboard, controlled by the passenger compartment air fan relay, located in the duct/distributor unit.

The fan only operates when the ignition is switched ON.
