1. Switch on the ignition (start up
the engine).
2. Switch on the electric fan by
setting handle 1 (Fig. 40) to one of
positions 1, 2, 3 or 4.
3. Set handle 4 with your mark
opposite symbol .
4. Press the conditioner switch
key 5 with symbol . The check
light indicator located on the switch
key will flash green for the duration of
the air conditioner operation.
During conditioner operation
drops emergence is possible in the
engine compartment. This is normal,
for the vehicle air conditioning sys-
tem removes moisture condensed
on the evaporator from the passen-
ger compartment.
To disable the cooling (condition-
ing) function re-press the condition-
er switch key.
ATTENTION!
Air conditioner operates only
when the engine is running, when
the outdoor temperature is not
below 5
0 С and when handle 1 is set
to any of these positions 1,2, 3 and
4 (i. e. with the electric fan on).
In the handle 4 position, at
least one of the nozzles 1, 2, 3 or 4
(see Fig. 39) should be open, oth-
erwise the air cooling heat
exchanger (evaporator) can get
iced and block the air flow supply
to the passenger compartment.
To set the desired air temperature
in the passenger compartment turn
handle 2 (see Fig. 40) clockwise –
for raising, counter-clockwise – for
lowering the temperature. The tem-
perature will be automatically main-
tained within the climate system con-
trol performance and the specified
tolerance.
For speed up of cooling t he air in
the passenger compartment it is rec-
ommended to switch on the recircu-
lation mode for a short time, for this,
change
handle 3 to the extreme
right position , at that, the out-
side air supply stops and the air
intake out of the passenger com-
partment starts.
ATTENTION!
It is not recommended to use
the recirculation mode durably,
because that leads to microcli-
mate deterioration in the passen-
ger compartment due to air ex-
change termination of the interior
and exterior air and ejection of
excessive moisture out of the
compartment. It causes the driv-
er to drowse, and the windows
can mist.
Cost-effective operation of the
climate system control
The conditioner compressor actu-
ation is performed from the vehicle
engine, thus, its operation in the air
cooling mode effects the fuel con-
sumption. To possibly reduce the air
conditioner usage time, you should
