| 1) |
The pressure in refrigerant circuits with regulating air
conditioner compressor is held to approx. 2 bar despite changing heat
transport and differing engine speeds. This applies however only within
the rated range of the air conditioner compressor; if the rated range of
the air conditioner compressor is exceeded, the pressure will increase

The temperature in refrigerant circuits with regulating
air conditioner compressor is held within the regulation range of the
air conditioner compressor despite changing heat transport and differing
engine speeds. This applies however only within the rated range of the
air conditioner compressor; if the rated range of the air conditioner
compressor is exceeded, the temperature will increase.

Measured values for air conditioning systems with two
evaporators |
 Note
| Air conditioning system compressors that do not
self-regulate their load are switched off by the respective
control unit via the air conditioner compressor regulating valve
-N280- when an evaporator temperature less than 0°C is sensed. |
| In vehicles with air conditioner compressor regulating valve
-N280-, the pressure on the low-pressure side is varied by
activating the valve. |

WARNING
When working on the refrigerant circuit, observe
generally applicable safety rules and the Regulations
for ...
Arrows show the direction of refrigerant flow.
A- low-pressure side of the refrigerant circuit.

Other materials:
Undercoating, additional protected areas on CNG-powered vehicles
Note
Undercoating (stone-chipping protection) applied during repair work
must be identical in appearance and thickness to the original
undercoating.
Water drainage holes must remain clear.

Working with the air conditioner service station
Caution
If there is evidence to suggest that chemical
substances have been added in the vehicle to seal leaks,
do not connect the air conditioner service station and
do not extract the refrigerant.

Loading the trailer
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings Trailer weight and drawbar load
The trailer weight is the weight that the vehicle can pull . The drawbar load
is the weight that the towing bracket exerts on the ball coupling vertically from
above .
