Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Initial setting
Should a new A/CCM be fitted, it will 'power-up' in the OFF mode; switching ON will result in the following settings:
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Setting temperature | 24°C or 75°F |
| LH and RH blower assembly recirculation / fresh flap | Fresh mode |
| Control mode | Automatic 'AUTO' displayed |
| Blower | Auto |
| Compressor output | A/C ON |
| Heated windshield and mirrors | OFF |
| Water valve | Auto temperature control |
After initial start up the system operating conditions will be stored in the A/CCM to the conditions which prevailed prior to ignition OFF.
