Notes:
◆ Control unit -J293, installed in vehicles with high-pressure sensor -G65, is available in 2 designs.
- In design "1" the radiator fan is automatically switched on in conjunction with the compressor (the first fan
speed
is activated regardless of the pressure in the refrigerant circuit).
- In design "2" the compressor is switched on without actuation of the radiator fan; the first
fan speed is only activated once the pressure in the refrigerant circuit exceeds 12 bar.
