Function of operating and display unit for Climatronic control unitE87 with Climatronic control unitJ255
   
Function of operating and display unit for Climatronic control unit -E87- with Climatronic control unit -J255-
1 - Windscreen defroster button
2 - Display for blower speed
q   In automatic operation → Item a medium blower speed is displayed regardless of the actual blower speed.
3 - Display for ambient temperature
q   If the road speed falls below 15 km/h and the coolant temperature is above 70° C, the value displayed will not change. The actual ambient temperature measured is not displayed because it is influenced by the heat build-up in the engine at lower speeds.
4 - Display for defrosting windscreen
5 - Display for air recirculation
6 - Display for air flow direction
q   Pressing button → Item switches the footwell air-flow display on or off.
q   Pressing button → Item switches the upper-body air-flow display on or off.
7 - Display for selected interior temperature
q   Switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit:
q   Press and hold button → Item and then press button → Item.
q   The corresponding temperature unit appears in the display.
8 - Operating mode display
“AUTO”: Automatic mode
q   In automatic mode, the Climatronic maintains the selected interior temperature automatically. With this setting, the vent air temperature, the blower speed and the air distribution are controlled automatically.
“ECON”: conditioning system off
q   In ECON mode, only the air conditioner compressor is switched off; heating and ventilation continue to be controlled automatically.
  Note
For vehicles that are not equipped with a magnetic coupling on the air conditioner compressor, the swash plate in the air conditioner compressor is set to a delivery rate of almost zero; heating and ventilation continue to be controlled automatically.
“OFF”: complete system is switched off.
q   To switch off, press → Item.
q   Because the flaps remain in the last position set, this manner of selection should only be used in special circumstances e.g. when there is a malfunction.
9 - Button for automatic mode
10 - Dash panel temperature sensor -G56- and temperature sensor blower -V42-
q   Fitting location for right-hand drive vehicles.
q   The Climatronic control unit -J255-, the operating and display unit for Climatronic air conditioning system -E87- and the dash panel temperature sensor -G56- with temperature sensor blower -V42- are combined in one unit which cannot be dismantled.
q   Checking: vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -VAS 5051B- in guided fault finding.
q   Task: the temperature sensor controls the temperature flap and the fresh air blower based on the temperature.
q   In event of failure of dash panel temperature sensor -G56-: continued operation assuming value of +24° C.
11 - “ECON” button
q   In ECON mode, only the air conditioner compressor is switched off; heating and ventilation continue to be controlled automatically.
  Note
For vehicles that are not equipped with an air conditioning system magnetic coupling -N25- on the air conditioner compressor, the swash plate in the air conditioner compressor is set to a delivery rate of almost zero; heating and ventilation continue to be controlled automatically.

13 - Button for “Colder”
14 - Button for “Air flow to footwell”
15 - Button for “Air flow to upper body”
16 - Button to increase blower speed
