Description and Operation

Control assembly, climate control - vehicles with manual temperature control

The heating and air conditioning is controlled by three rotary switches on vehicles equipped
with manual temperature control. The air distribution flaps are actuated via the air
distribution flap/temperature control flap actuating unit, which is connected via a rod to the
control assembly for the climate control. The temperature control flap is also actuated via
the air distribution flap/temperature control flap actuating unit, which is connected via a
cable to the control assembly.

In addition, the operating switch for recirculated air mode and the on/off switch for the air
conditioning are located on the control assembly.

Control assembly, climate control - vehicles with automatic temperature control

Vehicles with automatic temperature control have a control assembly with the
following button operated functions:

Switching the air conditioning system on and off
Temperature adjustment for the driver's side / front passenger's side
Switching the windshield defrost function on and off
Switching the electronic automatic climate control and the dual mode on and off
Air distribution
Blower control
Switching off the dual automatic climate control
Recirculated air control

Control assembly, climate control - vehicles with DVD navigation system with a
touch screen

On vehicles with a DVD navigation system with a touch screen, the control buttons for the
automatic temperature control (climate control) are integrated in this unit. In addition, all
heating and air conditioning functions can be controlled via the touch screen.

Climate control module - vehicles with DVD navigation system with a touch screen

On vehicles with a DVD navigation system with a touch screen, the climate control module
is provided as a separate component underneath the DVD navigation unit. It is actuated via
control buttons or via the navigation touch screen.

On vehicles with automatic temperature control, the sun load sensor measures the intensity
of the sunlight reaching the vehicle and passes the values on to the A/C module, which
then corrects the blower speed and flap position as required in automatic mode.

On vehicles with automatic temperature control the interior temperature sensor measures
the temperature in the passenger compartment. These values are also used by the A/C
module to regulate the pre-selected interior temperature.
