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.
