The air conditioner in the cabin is designed to work in all climatic conditions. In summer it serves to cool the air in the cabin, and in winter it removes moisture from the incoming air and prevents the windows from fogging up. The system can work both in the mode with the conditioner, and without it. In the latter case, the ventilation and heating functions are retained, which are controlled in the same way as with an air conditioner.
When the air conditioner is running, water vapor condenses from the air, which can lead to the formation of puddles under the car in the parking lot. This is not a malfunction.
Air circulation in the passenger compartment during the operation of ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems is provided by ventilation grilles on the front panel, as well as lower grilles that bring heated air to the feet of the driver, front and rear passengers. The grilles on the front panel allow you to adjust the direction and flow of air flowing through them.
The common control panel for ventilation, heating and air conditioning in the cabin is located in the center of the front panel (see also chapter 3). Depending on the version and equipment of the vehicle (automatic or manual control mode) the system control panel has one or another design.
