HEATER - Description

06/99 to 03/02, up to 05/99 · Heater

Description

The vehicle climate control system involves a duct/distributor unit with a heater, controlled via 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 air ventilation at four different speeds; two versions are available: a three speed and a four speed one.

The operation of the fan at different speeds is achieved through a resistive divider, protected by a special thermal fuse to prevent overheating.

There is also a cursor on the control panel, located under the knobs, which mechanically regulates the "recirculation" function via a cable.

For more details, see DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION: 5020 HEATER

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, controlled by the passenger compartment air fan relay, located in the duct/distributor uni.

The fan only operates when the ignition is switched ON.
