Air enters the passenger compartment through an air intake grill located outside under the car's windshield. If necessary, it is possible to turn off the intake of outside air. Air is released through special openings in the rear wall of the luggage compartment - to maintain comfortable microclimate conditions in the cabin, do not block them with luggage.
The air flow in the ventilation and heating system is heated by passing air through the heater heat exchanger, which is connected to the engine cooling system in parallel with the main radiator.
Note: Diesel models can be equipped with an optional Ouickneat electric heating system to heat the cabin air faster (until the engine warms up).
In the air conditioning system (K/V) cooling and dehumidification of air takes place by means of a special refrigerant charged into this system, which circulates through a separate closed circuit when the compressor is activated. (see chapter 3)
Depending on the configuration, the system is equipped with a carbon or conventional air intake tract filter, which protects the interior from the penetration of dirt, dust and pollen into it. For the greatest efficiency of the system and maximum comfort in the interior of the passenger compartment, the filter should be replaced regularly at the next scheduled maintenance of the car (see Chapter 1 Section 19).
Note: The filter must be replaced without waiting for the next service, if the intensity of the air flow supplied to the passenger compartment noticeably decreases or the windows begin to fog up slightly during the operation of the heater or air conditioner.
