Operating principle
Air quantity adjustment in cockpit
The flow of circulating air in cockpit is adjusted by rotating the (C) knob in the corresponding
positions for the four speed steps of the blower. The more speed step is bigger the more airflow
is bigger.
For a better efficiency of the windscreen defrosting or defogging, the
(C)
knob must be
placed on the last position.
In order to complete closing of the cold air penetration, rotate the knob on “
0
” position.
Air conditioning AC
When pushing the (
D
) button, the starting / stopping of the air conditioning is ensured. If (
D
)
button is not pushed, the air conditioning is not working, ventilation being identical to the one of
a vehicle without air conditioning.
The use of air conditioning is enabling:
- lowering the air temperature in cockpit when the vehicle is driven in sunny places or
when the vehicle is stopped in the sunshine;
- reducing the humidity in cockpit (event facilitated by defogging).
Air conditioning can not be used at low outside temperatures. During air conditioning operation,
for a better efficiency, all windows must be closed.
Recycled air
When pushing the ( E ) button, the climate maintenance unit is working with cockpit recycled
air, without outside air penetration.
Air recycling is enabling:
- isolation from outside atmosphere;
- faster reaching the desired temperature in cockpit.
Prolonged use of this function may lead to glasses fogging. Normal operation returning, with
outside air, is then imposed, by pushing the (E ) button stopping the cockpit air recycling.
