Air Conditioner - Precautions and Maintenance
55. The following items are in addition to the data in Section 11.
56. Run your air conditioner for at least five minutes every month, even in cold weather. This guarantees a continuous distribution of the lubricant in the system.
57. Do not turn on the system if a refrigerant leak is obvious or the system is empty. In this case, remove the compressor drive belt to prevent damage.
58. Periodically check the refrigerant level and top up as needed. Some leakage is allowed over a long period of operation, even under normal use.
Automatic air conditioner - general description
59. Later models can be equipped with fully automatic air conditioning. With this system, if a specific cabin temperature has been preselected, the air conditioner programmer controls the temperature controller flap and changes the fan motor speed automatically to maintain the desired temperature. Manual control is also possible, bypassing automation.
60. If there is a problem with the system, check that the cable from the programmer to the temperature control flap is not loose or tight. Also check the folding one itself.
61. Further research should be carried out by a specialized workshop.
Procon-ten security system - general description
62. Procon-ten security system (Programmed Contraction and Tension - Programmed Contraction and Tension) is a series of cables connected to both the inertial drums of the front seat belts and the steering column. The cables run around the anchor hanger on the right and connect to the chassis members, the guide hanger on the left connects the chassis members and the tensioner hanger on the gearbox housing.
63. In a frontal impact where the engine/transmission assembly is placed, the rear cables will automatically tighten with the movement of the engine/transmission assembly, and the steering column (damper) breaks down and retracts the seat belts.
64. The Procon-ten system is not installed as standard.
Procon-ten security system - inspection
65. If any part of the system is activated in an accident, the entire system must be replaced, including the steering column. The seat belt, inertia drum and tensioner cable must also be replaced.
66. Check the colored paint spot on the steering column seal to detect any movement due to paint breakage.
67. If any of the seat belts cannot be extended or retracted, then the system will turn on.
68. If any individual component of the Procon-ten system becomes unusable during operation, then it can be replaced separately.
