Climatronic (automatic air conditioning system)


Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Control elements
automatic mode
Switching the cooling system on/off
Setting the temperature
Recirculation
Controlling blower
Defrosting windscreen
The Climatronic in automatic mode ensures the best-possible setting of the tem-
perature of the outflowing air, the blower stage and air distribution.
The system also takes sunlight into account, which eliminates the need to alter
the settings manually.
The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met.
» Fig. 110 on page 100 switched on.
 
The engine is running.

The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.

The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to pro-
vide cooling at a high load of the engine.
Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off
On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh air
blower is automatically switched over to "solar mode" if the sun ray's are suffi-
cient after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the sliding/tilting roof de-
liver power for the fresh air blower. This supplies the interior of the car with fresh
air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 2 and 3 must be opened
on page 96.
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is fully closed.
