Managing the four knobs is very simple:
- The air intake regulator allows you to choose between fresh air from outside and air circulation inside the passenger compartment.
- The air separation regulator serves to direct the air in the desired direction (legroom, instrument grilles or windshield).
- The temperature controller is used to turn the heating on and off and regulate the air temperature.
- The fan control is used to turn the fan on and off and select one of four fan speeds.
Heating
- For normal heating, set the air flow control to the position «FRESH» or for quick heating - to the position «RECIRC». Do not forget that in the recirculation mode («RECIRC») glasses fog up quickly.
- Set the air separation control to position «HEAT». In this position, the air flow is directed mainly to the footwell.
- Set the temperature controller to the desired value. Position «WARM» corresponds to the maximum heating power.
- Turn on the fan controller.
Two-level heating (temperature differentiation)
In this position, the air supplied from the ventilation grills in the instrument panel and the air entering the footwell have a different temperature.
- Set the air flow control to position «FRESH».
- Set the air separation regulator to position «B/L». In this case, the air entering the grilles in the instrument panel and the air entering the footwell are separated, and the air entering the footwell is warmer. The difference in temperature depends on the position of the temperature controller.
- Install the temperature controller in the area indicated in the figure.
- Turn on the fan control if desired.
Ventilation (blowing)
- Set the air flow control to position «FRESH».
- Set the air separation control to position «VENT». The air will be completely directed to the ventilation grills on the instrument panel.
- Set the temperature control to the desired position.
- Turn on the fan controller.
Defrosting or defogging windows
- Set the air flow control to position «FRESH».
- Set the air separation control to position «DEF». In this case, the air flow is directed mainly to the windshield. On vehicles with side ventilation grilles, the air is also directed to the front door windows.
- Set the temperature controller in the middle or in position «WARM». Pregnant «WARM» achieve the fastest effect.
- Set the fan control to high speed. Once the fogging of the windshield has been eliminated, the fan speed and heating temperature can be reduced.
Practical instructions for use
- Keep the air intake grille in front of the windshield clear of leaves and other objects.
- When driving on dusty streets, set the air flow control to «RECIRC», to reduce the intake of outside air.
