The air conditioning and heating system is
composed of a heater/evaporator driven by
a microprocessor-controlled ECU which,
in both automatic and manual mode,
keeps the temperature in the passenger
compartment constant as the ambient
conditions change, regulating the air
temperature, flow rate and distribution. It
also allows taking in air from the outside
or recirculating the air inside the vehicle
automatically, regardless of the ambient
conditions.
Heater/evaporator
This unit is secured to the partition panel
between the passenger compartment and
the luggage compartment and it contains
the heater and the evaporator in one single
assembly. This system allows the user to:
• heat outside or inside air
• cool outside or inside air
• dehumidify and, if desired, heat outside
or inside air
• defrost glass surfaces.
Air drawn in from the outside enters the
heater/evaporator unit through a pollen
filter.
Notes: Replace the pollen filter of the A.C.
system at the intervals indicated in the
"Service Time Schedule".
