General information
1. On LCD models, do not put things on the sunlight sensor. Also, do not block the openings for the air temperature sensors.
1 - interior air temperature sensor, 2 - sunlight sensor.
2. The heater and air conditioner operate only when the engine is running. The operation of the heater is directly related to the temperature of the engine coolant, so operate the heater when the engine is warm enough. The amount of air passing through the heater/air conditioner can be adjusted by changing the fan speed.
3. On vehicles with air conditioning, after the start of cooling for the first few minutes, the air coming out of the deflectors may look like fog. This is due to the rapid cooling of moist air and is not a malfunction.
4. Too much cooling is harmful to health. The air temperature in the passenger compartment should be only 5-6°C lower than the outside air temperature.
5. When using the air conditioner, make sure that the air inlet in front of the windshield is not obstructed (like leaves).
6. The air conditioner must be turned on for at least 5 minutes every month, even in cold weather. This is necessary to lubricate the internal parts of the compressor and keep the air conditioner running.
7. When the air conditioner is turned on, the engine idle speed increases. Be careful when starting the car.
8. The air conditioning system has a built-in cabin filter to clean the air from dust and dirt.
Note: the procedure for replacing the cabin filter is given in the chapter "Maintenance and general inspection and adjustment procedures".
9. The direction and strength of the air flow coming out of the deflector are adjusted using the knob and dial on the deflector, respectively.

2. Switch [3] (OFF) designed to disable the control system (turning off the air conditioner and heater). When the system is turned on, the LCD display shows the outside temperature of the vehicle.
3. Switch [2] (AUTO) designed for automatic control of the air conditioner and heater.
- A) When the switch is pressed, the automatic operation of the air conditioner / heater is activated, in which the set temperature, air flow rate, etc. are automatically maintained. The indication [2A] on the LCD indicates that the mode is on "AUTO". When this mode is turned on again (even after restarting the engine) all selected settings are saved (mode, temperature, flow rate, etc.).
Note: if the battery was disconnected, all settings will be erased and the standard temperature of 25°C will be maintained when the air conditioner is turned on (in mode "AUTO").
- b) Mode "AUTO" turns off when any switch is pressed, except switches [2] (AUTO), [5] (TEMP).
- V) To resume system operation in fully automatic mode, press the switch [2] again (AUTO).
4. Switch [5] (TEMP) serves to set the temperature of the air in the passenger compartment. Temperature can be changed from 17°С to 32°С (in steps of 0.5°С) pressing the switch. At the same time, the indication [5A] on the LCD display shows the selected air temperature in the passenger compartment (to which it cools or heats up).
Note:
- To change temperature units (°C per F or F per°C) hold the switch [5] at the same time for 3 or more seconds (TEMP) and switch [10] (AMV).
- When the air conditioner is turned on again, the LCD display will show the temperature in the passenger compartment that was previously set before turning it off.
- If the switch is held down, the temperature setpoint will change 2 times faster, and each change in value will be accompanied by an audible signal.
- Setting the minimum allowable (17°С, mode "MAX COOL") or maximum allowable (32°C, mode "MAX NOTE") temperature or an attempt to set a temperature outside the allowable range will be accompanied by a warning sound signal.
5. (Models without air pollution sensor (AQS)) Air intake mode selection switch [11] (ventilation/recirculation) allows air to be taken either from outside the vehicle or from inside. The selection of the fence mode is carried out by pressing the corresponding switch (for each mode, the indicator on the corresponding switch will be lit).
6. (Models with air pollution sensor (AQS)) The switch [11] allows air intake either from outside the vehicle or from the passenger compartment and automatically prevents exhaust gases from entering the vehicle interior when air is taken from outside, if the switch [12] is turned on (When turned on, the indicator on the switch will light up). The selection of the fence mode is carried out by pressing the switch (pregnant "recycling" will be lit, the indicator on the switch).
- A) The operation of the outdoor air intake mode and the recirculation mode is completely similar to that given in paragraph "5".
- b) System mode "AQS" - outside air enters the car interior, but if the concentration of exhaust gases is detected in the incoming air, the recirculation mode will be automatically turned on.
Attention: if during operation in recirculation mode or system "AQS" car windows fog up, the air becomes dry and stale, then turn off the system mode "AQS" or turn on outdoor air intake mode.
7. The windshield defroster switch [6] is used to prevent the windshield from fogging up. When it is pressed, the indicator on the switch turns on, In this mode, the outside air intake mode and the air conditioner will be automatically turned on (if the outside temperature is above 3.5°C).
