The 2C-Climatronic system
In the 2C-Climatronic system, the interior is sub-
divided into two climatic zones. This means that the
temperaturs desired on the driver and front
passenger side can be set independently of each
other. The climatic zones are separated by two
temperature flaps inside the air conditioner unit.
All flaps, air distribution and the temperature
are actuated via positioning motors with an
integrated feedback potentiometer. Maintenance of
the pre-set interior temperature and optimal air
distribution is thereby controlled and monitored by
the Climatronic control unit.
The 2C-Climatronic system can be operated in
automatic or manual mode.
In addition to the Climatic system, 2C-Climatronic is
fitted with a fresh air flow flap, which is closed as of
100km/h as speed increases, in order to keep the
volume of fresh air which is supplied constant.
One further function which is available is speed-
dependent blower reduction, which reduces the air
conditioner's flow noises at low speed. In cooling
mode, this is compensated by lowering the vent
temperature and by raising the ventilation tempera-
ture in heating mode.
To prevent the windows from misting when the
compressor is switched off and the windscreen wipers
are switched on, the defrost flap is automatically
opened further to conduct more air to the windscreen.
