Instructions on use of systems of ventilation, heating and air conditioning

Detailed maintenance instructions of systems of heating, ventilation and air conditioning in various environmental conditions are more low resulted. The information on is presented attention of the reader how to provide effective ventilation, heating and air cooling in car salon, and also how quickly to remove from glasses a condensate and hoarfrost.

All considered systems function only at the started engine. As a working body of the heat exchanger of a heater the cooling liquid of the engine is used. If the engine is not heated-up to normal working temperature, some minutes before in salon warm air will start to move is required.

Functioning of a central air of air does not depend on temperature of a cooling liquid of the engine.

In overwhelming majority of cases the best efficiency of functioning of the systems providing a comfortable microclimate, is reached in a giving mode in salon of external air. Long inclusion of a mode of the closed circulation, especially at the idle conditioner, leads запотеванию glasses and to increase спертости air, therefore it is recommended to include the given mode only in case of need and for rather short time, for example, at movement on district with the filled with smoke or polluted atmosphere. As soon as necessity of isolation of salon will disappear, giving in salon of fresh air should be renewed.

External atmospheric air arrives in systems of heating and air-conditioning through the receptions a lattice located before a windscreen and equipped обтекателем. Periodically clean apertures of a reception lattice from leaves and the other dust complicating passage of air.

Ventilation of salon of the car

The forced-air and exhaust ventilation system provides a constant exchange of air in car salon. The fresh external air arriving through a forward reception lattice, circulates on salon and then leaves through the exhaust outlets located in ware boxes of a luggage space.

For acceleration of clearing of a windscreen from hoarfrost or ice it is recommended to include a mode of the closed air circulation in very cold weather at first. After the windscreen will be released from наледи, renew giving of fresh air for the purpose of prevention запотевания glasses.

In a mode обдува glasses all submitted to air salon arrives through the slot-hole nozzles located from above on the panel of devices at the basis of a windscreen, and also through lateral ventilating дефлекторы panels of devices. The temperature of air blowing in glasses, and speed of clearing of glasses increase in process of engine warming up. For acceleration of process of removal from a windscreen of a condensate, hoarfrost or ice it is possible to close lateral ventilating дефлекторы (position 0, — see above the item Management дефлекторами ventilating lattices). In this case all air will go exclusively on having blown in a windscreen.

From safety reasons it is not necessary to begin movement until all windows of the car will not be cleared of a condensate, and to the driver the adequate review will not be provided.

Deenergizing of systems of heating and ventilation

Temporarily to disconnect heating and ventilation systems, turn handles of regulators of a high-speed mode of the fan and air temperature in the extreme left positions.

Necessity for switching-off of systems arises in the first some minutes after engine start in cold weather as it provides faster warming up of the engine to temperature, sufficient for effective functioning of a heater. In all other cases, in order to avoid air stagnation in salon, hold the fan constantly included.

Climate control system

The climate control system can enter into a standard complete set of some models and carries out functions of automatic control by ventilation, heating and an air conditioning in salon. The heater and air conditioner provide maintenance of the set temperature of air. Besides, the system climate котроля automatically carries out a choice of a demanded high-speed mode of the fan and makes distribution of distribution of air depending on the set temperature.

Direction of streams of air arriving in salon from the central and lateral ventilating snuffled, can be adjusted manually, by means of mobile lattices дефлекторов (Management дефлекторами ventilating lattices see above the item).

System functioning in an automatic mode

The design of control system К/В allows to carry out activation of an automatic mode at idle the engine (during the compelled long stop, for example, before a railway crossing). It is necessary to include ignition and to press button "AUTO", — on the display screen the set level of temperature (updating can be made by means of a corresponding regulator) will be highlighted. Duration of functioning of system of the climate control at the muffled engine is limited. For compulsory switching-off of a mode repeatedly press button "AUTO".

Rotation of the handle of the left regulator establish desirable temperature of air. On the screen of the display of system the inscription «AUTO» should be highlighted.

The system automatically creates an optimum combination arriving through the conditioner and-or the heat exchanger of a heater of air streams, providing as much as possible fast warming up or air cooling in salon to the set temperature, operation of automatically started elements of management is accompanied by a conclusion to the screen of the display of corresponding symbolical images.

For the prompt warming up or air cooling in salon include a mode of the closed air circulation and turn the handle of a regulator of temperature in one of extreme (left or right) positions, — it is thus established top (32°С) or bottom (18°С) a limit of adjustable temperature. If a regulator of temperature of air will turn in one of extreme positions, the system will work in a constant mode, without being switched off, and warming up / cooling air with the greatest possible efficiency. Thus the system does not supervise current temperature of air in car salon. If the regulator handle to establish in one of intermediate positions the system will automatically maintain the set temperature of air in car salon.

The fan automatically joins in cold weather only after the engine has worked some time and a heater is ready to heating of air.

Switching-off of system of the climate control is carried out by поворачивания handles of management by fan functioning in extreme left position, — indication on the display screen should go out.

The system should not be in the disconnected condition a little long time. In order to avoid air stagnation in salon and occurrences of unpleasant smells it is recommended to hold constantly the fan the included.

System functioning in a semi-automatic mode

There is a possibility of manual inclusion of any of functions of system of the climate control when last works in an automatic mode. The automatic control of management of all other functions of system thus remains. Squeezing of any of management buttons translates system in a semi-automatic mode, — the control lamp which has been built in button "AUTO", and a corresponding inscription on the display should go out.

For the purpose of minimisation of the expense of fuel possibility of compulsory switching-off of modes of cooling / of drainage of air by нажимания on button "ECO" is provided, — on the display screen the inscription of the corresponding maintenance is displayed. Return to an air-conditioning mode is carried out by repeated pressing the button (corresponding indication should go out).

Inclusion of modes of removal of a condensate / наледи from glasses and a choice of a direction of distribution of air are made by means of corresponding buttons on the control panel by system functioning (functioning of systems of heating, ventilation and an air conditioning the Control panel see the models equipped with system of the climate control) an illustration. On the display screen symbolical images of the corresponding maintenance will be deduced.


The choice of demanded directions of giving of air is carried out by combined use of three operating buttons.

By means of the left rotary handle of the panel of devices installation of a demanded temperature mode is made, the right handle allows to carry out a choice of a high-speed mode of the fan of a heater, and also to make system K/V switching-off.
