Air Conditioner Switches
The air conditioner only works when the engine is running and the fan is on.
Use switches 1, 6 and key 7 to select the temperature, direction of air flow into the passenger compartment and the volume of air supplied to the passenger compartment.
Keys 2 and 5 are used to control various functions. Switches and keys are illuminated by LED lights.
1 - temperature controller.
2 - [ECON] key - activates the economy mode. When the LED in this key is lit, the air conditioner compressor is off, which helps save fuel. In this case, on cars with an independent heater, this heater is off; on diesel-powered vehicles, the engine coolant heating is disabled. In order to save fuel, the intensity of the interior heating is reduced.
3 - Rear window defroster switch
4 - interior air recirculation mode key
5 - heating switch
6 - switch for air flow direction in the passenger compartment.
7 - cabin air fan switch.

The greatest heating
The greatest heating of the interior and quick cleaning of the glass are possible only when the engine is warmed up.
Air conditioner
When the air conditioner is on, not only the temperature but also the humidity in the cabin decreases. This improves the well-being of the driver and passengers and prevents fogging of the windows.
If you cannot turn on the air conditioner, the possible reasons may be:
- The engine is not working.
- The fan is off.
- The outside temperature is below +3°C.
- The air conditioning compressor has temporarily shut down due to excessively high coolant temperature in the engine cooling system.
- The air conditioner fuse has blown.
- There may be other reasons for the air conditioner failure. In this case, you should contact a specialized workshop.
