Description and Operation

Climate control Assembly

Vehicles without air conditioning

The climate control assembly is located on the instrument panel center console.

The blower speed, interior temperature and air distribution are controlled here via three rotary knobs.

Movement of the air distribution flaps is performed by the air distribution flap actuating unit, which is connected via a cable to the control assembly.

Movement of the temperature flap is performed by the temperature flap control unit, which is also connected via a cable to the control assembly.

The blower switch is connected to a three-stage blower resistor, as a result of which four blower motor settings can be selected.

In addition, the operating switch for air recirculation mode is also integrated in the blower switch. When the air recirculation switch is operated, the vacuum-controlled actuator for the air recirculation flap is actuated and opens or closes the air recirculation flap.

Vehicles with air conditioning

The climate control assembly on vehicles with air conditioning is different in that it has an on/off switch for the air conditioning which is integrated in the blower switch.

In addition, the temperature flap is actuated via the temperature switch, which is electrically connected to the temperature control flap actuator.

Maximum cooling switch

The compressor defroster switch switches the air conditioning to the defrost setting when the air distribution flap is at full deflection. It also switches the blower motor to level 1 via the blower motor relay if the blower motor switch is set to "0".

When the temperature flap is at full deflection in the "cold" position, the maximum cooling switch switches off the coolant flow through the heater radiator via the coolant shutoff valve.
