1) If A/C control head -E87- is unable to determine the duration of time when ignition is off ("standing time"), DTC 01206
"signal for time span ignition off" is loaded into memory. The A/C control head will then default to a standing time greater than
4 hours. The actual measured values of the outside temperature sensor are then used as instantaneous outside and engine
temperature inputs for A/C system control. When the "heating" mode is selected under these conditions, the fresh air blower -
V2- has a delayed start (even when the actual standing time is less than 4 hours and the engine is warm) page 01

Read measuring value block. The outside air temperature display -G106- may also indicate incorrect outside temperature
values.
2) -V71- operates the air flow flap as well as the fresh/recirculated air flap.
