Air Conditioning

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The vehicle can be supplied with air conditioning (A/C) system on request. This works according to the evaporator core orifice principle.

The user controls the temperature. Semi- or fully automatic temperature control is not available at the present time. The type of the evaporator core orifice and the installation positions for service connections are the same for all model variants.

The vehicles are fitted with the FS10 swash plate A/C compressor. For additional information, refer to AIR CONDITIONING .

A thermo switch is integrated in the A/C compressor; at a temperature of 115°C in the A/C compressor outlet (high-pressure side), this switch cuts off the power supply to the A/C compressor clutch.

To install a new evaporator core, the entire air distribution housing must be removed.
