Pic. 1.107. The appearance of the control panel of the automatic air conditioning system: 1 – fan speed switch; 2 – switch of modes of distribution of air; 3 – the switch of an obduv of a windshield; 4 - air temperature controller; 5 - switch «AUTO» (auto mode); 6 - button for displaying the ambient temperature; 7 - switch for interior ventilation modes; 8 - air conditioner switch; 9 - switch «OFF» (turned off)
Pressing the switch «AUTO» (auto mode) the climate control system performs the following automatic functions (in accordance with the set air temperature in the passenger compartment):
- regulation of the temperature of the air supplied to the passenger compartment;
- fan speed control (the amount of air supplied to the cabin);
- switching modes of air distribution;
- switching modes of supply ventilation and air recirculation;
- turning the air conditioner on and off;
- air conditioner changeover «A/C» or «A/C ECON».
Indicator built into the switch button «AUTO».
When the indicator is lit, it indicates that the climate control system is operating in automatic mode.
If the built-in indicator is off, then the driver has manually changed one or more modes of the climate control system (for example, switched the air distribution mode, changed the fan speed, pressed the air conditioner switch or the windshield defroster switch). At the same time, the system maintains the mode set manually by the driver. Otherwise, the climate control system continues to operate in automatic mode.

There are seven fan speeds. The selected fan speed is shown on the information display.
Air distribution switch (see fig. 1.107)
With the switch, you can select the desired air distribution mode.
If the mode is enabled and the air temperature is set at an average level, warm air enters the driver and passenger footwell area, and cooler air is directed into the passenger compartment through the central and side ventilation grills located in the control panel.
Air conditioner switch
If the climate control system is in automatic mode or the fan is on, press the button to «A/C» you can turn the air conditioner on or off (performing the functions of cooling and dehumidifying the air).
Choice between modes «A/C» And «A/C ECON» carried out automatically. In economy mode (A/C ECO) the effectiveness of air cooling and removal of condensate from the windshield are reduced. However, using this mode reduces the load on the air conditioning system. The air conditioner may not work if the ambient temperature approaches 0°C (the indicator stays on even if the system is turned off).
Interior ventilation mode switch
You can select the supply air mode or the air recirculation mode. Press the switch button to select one of two interior ventilation modes.
