Function of air quality sensor -G238-

The air quality sensor detects noxious substances in the am


bient air (primarily petrol and/or diesel fumes).
The Climatronic control unit -J255- evaluates the signal from
the air quality sensor -G238- . The air conditioning system is
actuated depending on the degree and manner of ambient air
pollution.
At an ambient temperature higher than approx. +2 C, air recir

e
ris

At an ambient temperature less than approx. -5 C, air recircula


tion is not actuated until there is a strong increase in noxious
substances in the outside air, but only for approx. 15 seconds,
and the compressor is not started. When the concentration de
creases, the air conditioning system is switched back to fresh air
mode.
The automatic air recirculation function can be switched off
at any time. If the function is active, the compressor will be
switched on even at an ambient temperature below +2 C
when automatic air recirculation is required. However, even
with this function, it is not possible to operate the compressor
at temperatures below -5 C.
On vehicles with automatic air recirculation, the air condi
tioner compressor can also be switched on at temperatures
down to approx. -5 C even if the recirculated air function has
been activated manually.

If the level of noxious substances in the ambient air remains


relatively high over a long period of time, the intelligent sensor
starts to adapt to the change in environmental conditions so
that, generally, the demand for recirculated air lasts less than
12 minutes in areas where the ambient air exhibits a constant

So that the air conditioning system does not operate continu

levels of pollutants, the "intelligent" sensor adapts its sensitiv

To prevent too frequent operation of the recirculation/fresh air


flap, the flap is not actuated immediately if there is a minimal
increase in noxious substances in the ambient air (the sensor
does not send a request to the Climatronic control unit -J255- ).
The effect of the activated charcoal filter in the dust and pollen
filter is adequate for this.

If the air conditioner compressor is switched off (e.g. in ECON


mode), the maximum period of automatic air recirculation is
limited to approx. 15 seconds by the Climatronic control unit J255- so that condensation does not develop on the windows.
To clear condensation from windows as quickly as possible,
the Climatronic control unit -J255- does not permit air recircu

Notes on installing air conditioner com


pressor

5.14.1

Installing

Do not start engine until after reconnecting refrigerant circuit.


After installing a new air conditioner compressor or filling with
fresh refrigerant oil (e.g. after blowing out refrigerant circuit),
turn compressor pulley 10 revolutions by hand before starting
engine. This will prevent damage to the air conditioner com
pressor.
If possible, start engine only with refrigerant circuit charged.

tion separates from the air conditioner compressor shaft. The


seizure can normally be detected by the bulges in the poly Vbelt pulley. Another indication of a seizure is abraded rubber
material around the poly V-belt pulley.

The air conditioner compressor has an internal oil circuit to

ensure that the air conditioner compressor is not damaged


when the refrigerant circuit is empty. This means that about
40 to 50 cm3 refrigerant oil remain in the air conditioner com
pressor.

The engine may be started only when the refrigerant circuit is

properly assembled. If, for example, the refrigerant lines are


not connected to the air conditioner compressor and the en
gine is running, the compressor may heat up so much through
internal warming that it will be destroyed.

Air conditioning system compressor regulating valve -N280- is

not activated when the refrigerant circuit is empty and the air
conditioner compressor idles with the engine.
