Air Conditioning System



Starting with the 85/2 model, the air-conditioning system was revised. The evaporator is located together with the heat exchanger in one housing. Temperature control is automatic. The flaps, which are actuated by electric control motors, are regulated via 3 temperature sensors. The preselected temperature is maintained over the entire period of travel.

The electronics which process the signals are located in the control switch.
