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

Detailed maintenance instructions of systems of heating, ventilation and To/in in various climatic conditions are given below. Information on how to provide effective ventilation, heating and cooling of air in interior of the car, and also how quickly to remove condensate and hoarfrost from glasses is provided to attention of the reader.

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

Functioning of the air conditioning system does not depend on temperature of cooling liquid of the engine.

In absolute majority of cases the best efficiency of functioning of the systems providing a comfortable microclimate is reached in the giving mode in salon of external air. Long inclusion of the mode of circulation, especially at the unemployed To/in, leads to fogging of glasses and increase in a spertost of air therefore it is recommended to include this mode only in case of need and for rather short time, for example, at the movement on the area with the smoke-filled or polluted atmosphere. As soon as need of isolation of salon disappears, giving in salon of fresh air has to be resumed.

External atmospheric air comes to systems of heating and To/in through the receptions a lattice located before a windshield and equipped with a fairing. Periodically clean openings of a reception lattice from leaves and the other garbage complicating air passing.

  3. Install the handle of switching of the directions of distribution of air in situation or . The mode of air circulation has to be switched off.
  4. Turning the air temperature regulator handle in this or that party, establish desirable extent of heating of the air coming to salon. In this mode cold air from the conditioner mixes up with warm air from a heater.

Joint inclusion of systems of heating and air conditioning can be applied in any traffic conditions when air temperature positive.

Removal from glasses of condensate and hoarfrost

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

It is possible to clear the internal surfaces of glasses of the condensed moisture as follows:
  1. Turn on the fan;
  2. At the corresponding complete set of the car turn on the air conditioner;
  3. Install the handle of switching of the directions of distribution of air in situation. The mode of air circulation has to be switched off;
  4. Turn the air temperature regulator handle in such situation that warm air moved through nozzles of an obduv of a windshield;
  5. Include an electric heater of back glass for more bystry removal of the condensed moisture from its surface. On some options of execution of the car if the handle of switching of the directions of distribution of air is in any situation, except, To/in remains included. If necessary switch off the conditioner.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

To remove from an external surface wind and side glasses the hoarfrost or ice formed later parking of the car on the street in frosty weather, execute the following manipulations:
  1. Include ignition, having turned a key in the lock in situation "II";
  2. Install the handle of switching of the directions of distribution of air in situation. The mode of air circulation has to be switched off;
