When the corresponding buttons are pressed, heated or unheated fresh air (ECON mode) or cooled air (AUTO mode) comes out of all the nozzles.
The nozzles are controlled by keys 1, 13, 14 (see figure Controls of the climate control system "Climatronic").
Additionally, nozzles 3 and 4 can be opened or closed separately:
Nozzle closed: side dial on
.
Nozzle open: side dial on
.
When the common deflector grid of nozzles 3 and 4 rotates, the air flow changes its direction in height.
If you turn the disc regulator in the deflector grille, the direction of the air flow in the horizontal plane changes.
The rear air nozzles for the footwell area are adjusted together with nozzles 5.
General instructions
Make sure that the sensor, located between the air vents on the windshield in the middle of the front panel, and the deflector grille are not covered by anything.
In order for the "Climatronic" system to function smoothly, the air intake opening in front of the windshield must be free of ice, snow or leaves.
The heating capacity of the system depends on the temperature of the coolant in the engine cooling system, so the greatest heating occurs when the engine is warmed up to operating temperature.
If the "AUTO" mode has not been turned on for a long time, an unpleasant odor may appear due to the accumulation of various types of deposits on the evaporator.
To avoid unpleasant odours, the air conditioning system should be switched on at the highest fan setting – also in the cold season – at least once a month. At the same time, open one of the windows for a short time.
Used air is removed through outlets under the rear window. When placing items of clothing on the luggage compartment shelf, make sure that these openings are not blocked.
At high temperatures and high humidity of the outside air, condensate may drip from the evaporator and form a puddle under the car. This is normal and does not indicate a leak in the system.
