Air Conditioning System - Mercedes-Benz 230 1978 Owner's Manual

Air Conditioning System

The temperature inside the vehicle
can be lowered by means of the
>
air conditioning system. When
tem perature switch 8 is switched
on, the air is passed over an
evaporator and is thus cooled and
dehydrated at the same time.
The air is circulated by a blow er
and may be distributed according
to preference by means of the ven­
tilation system controls.
The air conditioning system is
operative only when the engine is
running. High engine speed pro­
duces a high refrigerant
com pressor speed which in turn
means increased cooling.

8 Tem perature switch. Switch on
by turning to the right. The
cooling effect is increased up to
the stop. After 2 A of the switch
travel, the system changes over
from fresh air cooling to circu ­
lation air cooling with a small
proportion of fresh air. The
blower (switch 1) must then be
switched on. We recommend
selecting a higher blow er speed
fo r increased cooling effect.
By pulling the temperature
switch cooled air may also be
passed to the footwell.
