Governing bodies
Air supply control
Use the ▲ and ▼ knobs to turn on the fan and set the desired air supply.
Air distribution switch
In order to select one or another mode of air distribution, press the switch sequentially «MODE», as described below.
Note: The display will show «MANUAL».
Switching the air distribution mode:
- Air enters the passenger compartment through the central and side ventilation deflectors
- Air enters the cabin through the central and side vents, as well as through the lower vents.
- Air enters the cabin mainly through the lower vents.
- Air enters the cabin through the windshield vents and lower vents.
Automatic air supply
If both indicators are off - the outdoor air supply indicator and - the recirculation mode indicator), then the air supply system operates in automatic mode. The air will predominantly come in from the outside , unless the most rapid cooling of the air in the cabin is required, in which case the recirculation mode will be activated. As soon as the need for rapid air cooling stops, the system will return to the outside air supply mode .
Air recirculation mode
The recirculation mode is recommended when driving on dusty roads or in heavy traffic, in order to isolate the vehicle interior from the ingress of dust and unpleasant odors from vehicle exhaust gases or to achieve maximum air cooling efficiency.
Press the recirculation mode switch () - the corresponding indicator will light up.
The air recirculation mode is automatically turned off when the windshield defrost mode is turned on () or when selecting the supply ventilation mode ()
If the recirculation mode is off, the ventilation and heating system operates in the normal supply ventilation mode. Use the fresh air mode for normal HVAC operation.
Fresh air mode ()
Use the fresh air mode for normal HVAC operating conditions.
Press the ventilation mode switch (). The corresponding indicator will light up. When the recirculation switch is pressed, the supply ventilation mode and the mode indicator are automatically turned off.
Temperature regulator
Press the top ▲ or bottom ▼ side of the switch to adjust the temperature of the air exiting through the vents and bottom vents.
Heater operation
The heater starts working only after the engine has warmed up to operating temperature.
Heating
In heating mode, warm air enters the passenger compartment through the lower vents.
1. Press the ventilation mode switch () for normal interior heating (the corresponding indicator will light up).
2. With switch «MODE» select air distribution mode .
3. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to set the desired fan speed.
4. Use the temperature control button to set the desired temperature.
To speed up the warming up of the cold interior of the car, turn on the air recirculation mode (position ) After sufficient warming up of the passenger compartment, do not forget to switch the system to the supply ventilation mode (move the switch to position ).
Cabin ventilation
In ventilation mode, air enters the passenger compartment through the side and center vents.
- 1. Press the ventilation mode switch () (the corresponding indicator will light up).
- 2. With switch «MODE» select air distribution mode
- 3. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to set the desired fan speed.
- 4. Use the temperature control button to set the desired temperature.
Interior heating and glass defrost
In this mode, interior heating and windshield defrost are combined:
- 1. Press the ventilation mode switch () (the corresponding indicator will light up).
- 2. With switch «MODE» select air distribution mode - .
- 3. Press the fan speed selection button to set the desired value.
- 4. Use the temperature controller to set the air temperature in the range from 25°С to 29°С.
System shutdown
To turn off the system, press the OFF button.
Automatic climate control
Interior cooling and/or interior heating with pre-dried air (automatic control mode); The air conditioner can only cool the air when the engine is running and the ambient temperature is above -5°C.
This mode can generally be used all year round as the system automatically maintains the desired interior temperature.
The air distribution mode and the intensity of the air supply to the passenger compartment are also automatically adjusted.
1. Press the air conditioner button (the indicator built into the button should light up).
2. Press the button «AUTO». The indicator will light up on the display «AUTO».
3. Press the temperature control buttons to set the air temperature in the range from 18°C to 29°C.
For normal conditions, it is recommended to set the temperature to approx. 24°C.
The set air temperature in the passenger compartment will be maintained automatically. The air distribution mode and the intensity of the air supply to the passenger compartment are also automatically adjusted.
4. To turn off the climate control system, press the button «OFF».
Manual fan speed control
Press the button to set the desired fan performance (indicator will light up on the display «MANUAL»).
Hit the switch «AUTO», to return to automatic fan control mode.
Interior heating (auto mode)
Use this mode if you only need to heat the passenger compartment.
1. Press the button «AUTO».
2. Press the button «A/C», to turn off the air conditioner (the indicator should turn off).
3. Use the temperature control button to set the desired temperature.
The air supply, the set temperature in the passenger compartment and the air distribution mode will be maintained automatically.
Do not set the interior temperature below the ambient temperature. Otherwise, the system will not function normally.
It is not recommended to use this mode if the windshield is fogged up.
Hit the switch «A/C», to return to air conditioning mode.
Glass blowing (automatic operating mode)
This mode is used to remove condensed moisture or frost from the windows.
1. Press the windshield defrost switch (the corresponding indicator will light up).
2. Use the temperature control button to set the desired temperature.
To speed up the cleaning of the windshield from frost or condensed moisture, manually set the maximum fan speed.
Immediately after cleaning the windshield from frost or condensed moisture, press the button to return to the previous operating mode, or press the switch «AUTO», to switch to automatic climate control mode.
When you press the windshield defrost switch , the air conditioner automatically turns on (if the ambient temperature is above -2°С) and turn off the recirculation mode.
Outside air entering the passenger compartment speeds up the cleaning process.
Sensor Ⓘ, located on the top of the control panel, is designed to maintain a constant temperature in the cabin. Do not cover this sensor with foreign objects.
Air filter ventilation system
The air entering the car interior through the heater or air conditioner is filtered to remove dust, plant pollen and other contaminants. In order for the ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems to work properly, it is necessary to periodically replace the filter element in accordance with the vehicle maintenance schedule.
Air conditioner maintenance
Maintenance of the air conditioner installed on your vehicle requires special equipment for charging with refrigerant and special lubricant. Using the wrong refrigerant or lubricant can cause serious damage to the air conditioning system. Applied brands of refrigerant and lubricants are indicated in the section «Technical information».
