Air Conditioning System

Left-handed rotation: Temperature fall,
0.5
℃
reduced every cascade rotated
The temperature value set will be
displayed on the AC (air conditioning)
display panel.
The standard value suggested is 22
℃
.
Temperature may be set between 18
℃
and
32
℃
with switch. LO will be indicated for
temperature lower than 18
℃
and HI for
temperature higher than 32
℃
.
Left-handed rotation may increase cooling
capacity when the cooling system works.
In the position of ―LO‖ (lower than 18 ℃
),
the system will be set to the status of low
temperature; in the position of ―HI‖
(higher than 32
℃
), the system will be set
to the status of high temperature instead of
the temperature when air conditioning is
ready.
When the knob is pushed down, the set
temperature value as displayed will be
replaced with external temperature value
for a short duration, while the external
temperature symbol will be also
displayed. The temperature value set will
be re-displayed after three seconds and
meanwhile, the external temperature
symbol will disappear. During the
period when external temperature is
displayed, rotation of the knob won’t alter
the temperature value set.
5. AUTO mode switch
When the button is pushed down, the
control system will adjust automatically
position
of air mixture door, air
conditioning status, rotation speed of fan
and external air intake or internal air
circulation to regulate temperature inside
to the value set, according to the
temperature set, external temperature
signal,
and variance of internal
temperature signal.
The automatic running symbol
will be displayed.
In the mode of AUTO, the initial status of
air blowing is defaulted as the mode
toward face and feet. Air blowing mode
may be changed via the MODE button.
The AUTO and MODE buttons are
mutually independent.
The defrosting function is correlated with
windshield wiper signals. That is, air
conditioning is automatically set in the
mode of defrosting (with wind rate, etc.
unaltered) when the windshield wiper is
initiated.
Operating
mode of compressor is
determined by the temperature set. If the
temperature set is higher than 28
℃
, the
compressor won’t pull in.
The system will switch to internal
circulation automatically, when any of the
three conditions below are met:

Air conditioning system starts running
(i.e., compressor is initially started
up).

The driving speed 10Km/h lasts over
10s.

The vehicle is in a state of rest.
The system will runs according to the
operating mode or interface set by user
last time.
