The air conditioner only works when the engine is running and the temperature is above +4°C. The mode switch handle has seven positions. To ventilate the interior with outside air, you need to set it to the right, with inside air - to the left.
Ventilation with outside air has four operating modes:
- 1 - slow;
- 2 - average;
- 3 - fast;
- 4 - very fast.
Ventilation with internal air, three operating modes:
- 2 - slow;
- 3 - average:
- 4 - fast.
Turning on the air conditioner
Press the fan handle: the built-in control lamp on the switch will light up at the same time. The compressor may vibrate slightly when it is turned on.
The air conditioner removes moisture from the air it cools, so a small puddle may form under a parked car.
Cooling with outside air
In humid weather and high outside temperatures, turn on the air conditioner and set the fan speed to position 1, 2, 3 or 4. The air flow distribution handle can be set to the "Head-level" position or as desired.
Cooling with internal air
To quickly cool the interior and eliminate unpleasant odours in very humid weather and high outside temperatures, set the handles to the positions shown in the figure.
Maximum cooling
To do this, turn on the air conditioner and set the fan speed to position 4. After the interior has cooled sufficiently, switch back to outside air ventilation.
Maximum comfort
Once the car has cooled down sufficiently, you can select the most convenient fan mode for yourself and adjust the air flow direction as desired. If the interior is too cool, you can warm the air by turning the heater control to the right.
Reducing air humidity in the "Feet and Windshield" and "Windshield" modes"
When the air conditioner is running, the air humidity decreases.
It is recommended to turn it on in humid weather or if the outside air temperature is above +4°C. The heater and fan operating modes can be selected as desired.
Do not use the internal air circulation mode as this will reduce the speed of windshield defrosting.
Ventilation with internal air when the air conditioner is turned off
Ventilation with internal air is advisable to use when the air is heavily polluted, but this causes windows to fog up faster. So you should switch to external ventilation or air conditioning as soon as possible.
Semi-automatic temperature control
See item 21 in Paragraph 2.
Set the fan control handle to the "AUTO" position, and select the temperature and air flow direction as desired. The air conditioner will automatically regulate the fan, maintaining the most even and comfortable air temperature in the cabin. The temperature sensor is located in the middle of the front panel.
The air conditioner removes moisture from the air it cools, so a small puddle may form under a parked car.
Optimal operating mode of the air conditioner
The most pleasant climate in the car can be achieved by setting the temperature to +22°C, setting the fan to the "AUTO" mode and turning on the air conditioner. If the car is not hot or stuffy, it is better not to turn on the air conditioner to save fuel.
Turning the air conditioner on and off
To turn on the air conditioner, press the A/C button. To turn it off, press the same button again.
Setting the temperature
The standard temperature regime at any time of the year is +22°C. You can change it by pressing the right ("Warmer") or left ("Cooler") button,
Using the buttons, you can set the temperature within the range from +18 to +29°C. In the "Lo" mode (below 17°C), the system automatically switches to constant cooling, in the "Hi" mode (above 29°C) - to constant heating. In this case, it stops regulating the air temperature.
Air recirculation
To switch external ventilation to internal and vice versa, you need to press the button indicated by the arrow in the figure. In the internal ventilation mode, the air conditioner turns on automatically and turns off manually.
When this mode is in operation, the corresponding symbol will appear on the display. The recirculation mode does not operate if the air distribution is set to defrost the windscreen.
Cooling with internal air
In high humidity and high air temperature conditions, it is recommended to select the recirculation mode. This will quickly cool the interior and remove unpleasant odors. Just press the "recirculation" button.
Automatic air recirculation control
If the outside and inside temperatures are high, the climate control system will automatically enter recirculation mode when the air conditioner is on. In this case, the air conditioner turns on automatically and turns off manually.
During operation, the corresponding symbol will be shown on the display. The recirculation mode does not operate if the air distribution is set to defrost the windshield.
Automatic fan control
Automatic control is convenient to use for warming up the engine in cold weather; the fan operates only in defrosting mode until the engine is fully warmed up. Until it starts to blow hot air, the fan will operate at low speed. A higher speed can be set manually.
