The automatic A/C system (C68) consists of the following
components:
• | An air conditioning system |
This system is controlled by electronic circuits and by vacuum circuits.
These circuits determine the following locations:
• | The air intake locations |
• | The discharge locations |
The electronic circuits also control the following items:
• | The A/C compressor clutch operation |
• | The blower fan operation |
• | The discharge air temperature |
The driver may select the following options from the system control
panel:
• | A desired interior temperature |
In the automatic mode of operation, the system determines the following
settings:
• | The appropriate air intake locations |
• | The discharge locations |
• | The discharge air temperature |
These settings depend on the temperature and information that is selected
by the driver. This information is provided by the system's network of sensors.
The automatic A/C system utilizes a variable displacement orifice tube
(VDOT) type of refrigeration system. Refer to
