temperature, airflow volume and distributi on from the air conditioning unit to maintain a stable passenger compartment
average temperature under changing weather conditions.
Major Components

Parts List
The air conditioning unit houses the evap orator, heater matrix and their temperatur e sensors. The unit also incorporates
two servo motor operated air distribution flaps which regulate airflow to the front and rear footwells and the quantity of
airflow through the cool air bypass (air which by-passes he ater matrix) up to the upper air distribution box (ADB).
When the footwell flap is open, air is du cted to the front and rear footwell areas via the lower air distribution duct (LADD)
and appropriate ducts. The LADD is clipped to the bottom of the air conditioning unit case an d the front foot ducts clipped
onto the outlets of the LADD.
Condensate (water) which forms on the evaporator fins is drained out of the unit case through two drains, located either
side of the unit underneath the evaporator. The liquid is routed to the vehicle exterior via flexible tubes which are located
behind the firewa ll heatshield.
