HEAVY-DUTY REAR AIR CONDITIONING,
Details and Technology
The high-performance rear air conditioning system available on Passenger Van is fitted in the front
sunroof aperture over the rear compartment. It is driven by its own compressor and has a maximum
cooling performance of 14 kW. The roof-mounted unit also extends some way into the interior of the
vehicle. The air conditioning system supplements the cooling provided by (automatically controlled air
conditioning system), though this boosting function can be independently activated and adjusted. The
system operates only in recirculation mode. It is controlled by a separate switch, which allows three fan
speeds to be selected, and by a continuously variable temperature selector. The cooled air is supplied
via adjustable outlets on the underside of the roof duct. The airflow direction can be individually adjusted
and, if desired, the air supply can be shut off completely. The roof duct reduces the interior height of the
vehicle. Two or three interior lights, depending on wheelbase, are also integrated in the roof duct. They
are switched on and off by the door contact switch or individually at each light.
Benefits and Arguments
• Optimized interior climate in rear section
• Enhanced comfort and well-being for passengers in the rear
• Improved interior air quality
Optimized interior climate due to additional cooling of the air supply to the rear compartment. This
system is particularly recommended for vehicles used in very hot climates. Rear passengers can
individually adjust the air outlets for improved comfort and well-being. A pollen and particulate filter
improves the interior air quality.
