The location of air vents is shown by the air-flow arrows in the picture. The
temperature of air supplied to each vent is controlled by the heater.
NOTE:Vent(1)is designed to keep the audio unit cool, there is no airflow from this
vent.
H2454
Face level vents
Each vent can be opened or closed by rotating
the thumbwheel: left to open, right to close.
Direct the flow of air by moving the control in
the centre of the louvres.
To ensure best ventilation and minimum
noise, the vents should be fully open when the
air distribution control is set to face level.

The air conditioning system features
automatic temperature and air distribution
control, which is programmed to maintain
optimum levels of comfort within the vehicle
in all but the most severe climatic conditions.
While the controls can be adjusted manually
to satisfy individual requirements, allowing the
system to function automatically (in Auto
mode) is by far the simplest method of
operation for the owner and is preferable in
most operating conditions.
Auto mode
Press AUTO (1) for fully automatic
operation.
Press the temperature control switches
(2) on either side of the display to
select the required temperature.
Let the automatic temperature control
system do the rest.In Auto mode, air distribution and blower
speeds are adjusted automatically to achieve
and then maintain the desired temperature.
(
An enclosed area in the centre of the display
will show AUTO together with the air
distribution and blower speed settings).
Both the air distribution and blower controls
can be operated independently to override the
automatic setting. In this case, the relative
symbols will move outside the enclosed area
in the centre of the display to indicate that
they are no longer being controlled
automatically.
NOTE:If the air distribution and blower
controls are operated independently, the
system may not be able to achieve or maintain
the required temperature settings.

Defrost mode
If the windscreen is misting or
covered in ice, press the
SCREEN button (3); the system will
immediately direct its output to achieve
maximum screen clearing by:
- setting the blower speed to maximum
- distributing air flow to the screen only.
In addition, the rear and front screen heaters
(if fitted) will be switched on (or their timed
operating cycle will recommence if they are
already switched on).
NOTE:The temperature and blower speed
controls can be adjusted and air recirculation
selected manually if required.
Press the SCREEN button a second time (or
select AUTO) to leave the Defrost mode - the
system will default automatically to Auto
mode.
Economy mode
Press the Econ button (4) to
operate (
the display shows
ECON).
In economy mode the air conditioning
compressor is switched off and the system
functions as a conventional heating and
ventilation system. This reduces the load on
the engine, thereby reducing fuel
consumption.
Select Economy mode whenever air
conditioning is not required i.e. in cold
weather when the external temperature is
lower than the temperature required for the
passenger compartment.
The air distribution, blower and recirculation
controls can be operated independently.Pressing the Econ button a second time will
switch the air conditioning compressor on
and return the system to Auto mode.
NOTE:In Economy mode, it is possible to
switch the blower off (no segments showing
in the display).
On/off button
Press (5) to switch on or off.
When switching on, note that the
system automatically recalls the mode and
control settings that were last used.
Temperature controls
Operate the rocker switches (2) on either side
of the display to set the required temperature
for the corresponding side of the passenger
compartment (left hand switch for the left side
of the vehicle, and right hand switch for the
right side).
Temperatures above 82°F (28°C) and below
16°C (61°F) cannot be set. Above or below
these maximum and minimum settings HI or
LO will appear in the display.
NOTE:The temperatures shown on the
display are relative, target, temperatures only
and are not reflective of any specific
temperature measured within the vehicle
interior.
NOTE:The system will not achieve
temperatures on the passenger side of the
vehicle that are more than 9
°F(5°C) greater
or less than the temperature set for the
drivers side.

Blower button
Press the button (6) to adjust the
blower speed. The blower speed
increases incrementally with each press of the
button, until maximum fan speed is reached
(the display shows five segments and the
word MAX).
Once the maximum fan speed has been
reached, another press of the button returns
the blower to its slowest speed (one segment
shows in the display).
Air distribution control
Press the button (7) to adjust. Air
distribution changes
incrementally with each press of the switch in
the following sequence:
Face level vents
Foot and face level vents
Foot level vents
Foot level, windscreen and side
window vents
Windscreen and side window vents
A further operation of the button returns to
the start of the sequence.
NOTE:If the button is pressed for more than
one second, air distribution will automatically
default to foot and face level vents.
External temperature
Press the button (8) to display.
The external temperature is
displayed for approximately 6 seconds, after
which the display reverts to its previous state.
NOTE:While the air conditioning system is
switched off, the external temperature can be
displayed briefly by pressing the button.
Air recirculation
The air recirculation feature can
be used to prohibit the entry of
air from outside the vehicle, alternatively
recirculating the air inside the vehicle instead.
This is useful to prevent the entry of traffic
fumes.
The feature also significantly influences the
dehumidifying and cooling performance of the
air-conditioning system. Therefore, in Auto
mode, air recirculation is controlled
automatically to enable the air-conditioning
system to achieve its optimum performance.
However, the feature is also manually
selectable in Auto, Defrost and Economy
modes, as follows:
In Auto mode:
1.Press the control (9) briefly(display
shows recirculation symbol):
Air recirculation operates until the control is
pressed a second time to switch off.
2.Press and hold for 2 seconds
(two bleeps
will sound, display shows recirculation
symbol):
Air recirculation operates for a pre-timed
period of 4-6 minutes only. 
						

							Air conditioning
62 In Defrost and Economy modes:
· Press the control briefly
(display shows
recirculation symbol):
Air recirculation operates for a pre-timed
period of 4-6 minutes only.
· Press and hold for 2 seconds
(two bleeps
will sound, display shows recirculation
symbol):
Air recirculation operates until the control
is pressed a second time to switch off.
NOTE:Prolonged recirculation may cause the
windows to mist.
Temperature conversion (°F-°C)
The temperature displays can be converted to
or from Fahrenheit and Centigrade, as follows:
1.Press and hold the air recirculation button
(9).
2.At the same time, press and hold the
on/off button (5) for 3 seconds.
3.A bleep will sound to indicate that the
conversion has taken place.General notes
·For optimum operating efficiency, ensure
all the air vents (including those in the rear
of the vehicle) are open.
· For the automatic temperature control
system to function efficiently, all windows
(and the sunroof) should be closed, and
the air intake vents free from ice, snow,
leaves or other debris.
· In very humid conditions, slight screen
misting may be experienced when the air
conditioning system is turned on. This is a
natural occurrence on most automotive air
conditioning systems. It is not a fault and
misting will clear after a few seconds once
the air conditioning system is operating.
· The air conditioning compressor will not
function unless the engine is running.
· Surplus water produced by the
dehumidifying process is expelled from
the system via drain tubes beneath the
vehicle. This may result in a small pool of
water forming on the road when the
vehicle is stationary and is not a cause for
concern.
· If desired, the systems audible
information chimes can be deactivated, as
follows:
1) Press Auto button and hold.
2) Press On/off button and hold pressed
for 3 seconds, then release.
3) Press On/off button again for a further
3 seconds, and release.
4) Release Auto button.
