climate control VAUXHALL VIVARO 2014.5 User Guide

Climate control1019Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
To return to Automatic mode: Press
AUTO button.
Rear heating system
The rear passenger compartment
heating fan assists air flow to the rear
passenger compartment via the rear
air vents.
The rate of air flow is determined by
the fan. Air temperature is controlled
using the temperature control on the
instrument panel.
Rear air conditioning
system
The rear air conditioning system is
actuated in conjunction with the front
passenger compartment air
conditioning system.

102Climate control
Rear air conditioning fan switch
The rear air conditioning fan assists
air flow to the rear passenger
compartment via the rear air vents.
Switch on the fan while the air
conditioning system is operating to
allow cooled and dehumidified (dried) air to be distributed.
The rate of air flow is determined by
the fan.
Auxiliary heater
Coolant heater The Eberspächer engine-
independent, fuel-powered coolant
heater provides rapid heating of the
engine coolant to enable heating of
the vehicle interior without the engine
running.Caution
Do not touch the exhaust pipe. It
may be hot even after the engine
has been switched off, due to
coolant heater operation.
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's
climate control system to heat and the
air distribution to V.
9Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.
Control units The timer or remote control unit turns
the system on and off, and is used to
programme specific departure times.

previously.
To activate the remote control, press activation button X and release it
when the menu bar appears in the display. The signal indicator and
SENd appear briefly in the display,
followed by the temperature.
9 Warning
When refuelling, switch off the
remote control unit as well as the
heater!
To switch off, press and hold
activation button X to prevent
inadvertent operation.
The remote control has a maximum
range of 600 metres. The range may
be reduced due to environmental
conditions and as the battery
becomes weaker.

104Climate control
In addition to the remote control unit,
the heating can also be switched on
for 30 minutes, or off, using the
button.
Battery replacement
Replace the battery when the range
of the remote control is reduced or
when the battery charge symbol
flashes.
Open the cover using a coin and
replace the battery (CR 2430 or
equivalent), ensuring the new battery
is correctly installed with the positive
( < ) side facing the positive terminals.
Replace the cover securely.
Dispose of old batteries in
accordance with environmental
regulations.Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.

If the vehicle battery is reconnected,
the LED in the instrument panel
button illuminates and the system
configures the remote control menu
automatically. If the LED flashes,

but only one unit can operate the
system at any one time.
Operation
Heating Y
Select Y in the menu bar and confirm.
The predetermined heating duration,
e.g. L 30, flashes in the display. The
factory setting is 30 minutes.
To temporarily adjust the heating
duration, adjust with the q or r
button and confirm. The value can be
set from 10 to 120 minutes. Due to the
power consumption, note the heating duration.
To switch off, select Y in the menu bar
again and confirm.
Ventilation x
Select x in the menu bar and confirm.
The ventilation duration can be
accepted or adjusted. The duration
shown is accepted without
confirmation.

flashes in the display. Adjust using the q or r button and confirm.

106Climate controlAir vents
Adjustable air vents At least one air vent must be open
while cooling is on, in order to prevent
the evaporator from icing up due to lack of air movement.
Centre air vents
To open or close the centre air vents
and direct the flow of air, tilt the slats
up or down and turn the adjuster
wheel left or right.
Side air vents
To open or close the side air vents, tilt the slats up or down.
Direct the flow of air by rotating the
vents.
Depending upon the position of the
temperature control, air will be
directed into the vehicle via the side
air vents.
9 Warning
Do not attach any objects to the
slats of the air vents. Risk of
damage and injury in case of an
accident.
Fixed air vents
Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen and door windows, in the foot wells and,
depending on vehicle, in the rear passenger compartment.

Climate control107Maintenance
Air intake
The air intake in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filter
The pollen filter cleans dust, soot,
pollen and spores from the air
entering the vehicle through the air
intake.
Air conditioning regular
operation In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once a
month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when outside
temperature is too low.Service
For optimal cooling performance, it is
recommended that the climate control system be checked annually, starting
three years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
■ Functionality and pressure test■ Heating functionality
■ Leakage check
■ Check of drive belts
■ Cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
■ Performance check
