1. OPERATING DESCRIPTION.

The Ecomaster Comfort front panel has three distinct areas:

Driver air conditioning functions

Common functions

Passenger air conditioning

functions

When reference is made to the driver air conditioning functions, the key named will be
the one in that area, with a similar shape to that for passengers.

1. 1. Driver on/off switch for the air conditioning.

The control is activated automatically as soon as the vehicle starts.

If the engine has not been started, the air conditioning system may be activated by
pressing the

(3-16) key. As the battery is not charging in that situation, only the

heating and ventilation will work at minimum ventilation speed.

The driver air conditioning may be adapted manually by holding down the

1. 2. Driver temperature adjustment control.

Ecomaster Comfort

To vary the temperature desired in the driver’s area, press the keys

(2) or (1).

If the passenger air conditioning is running, the temperature the driver can choose
may be between +3º C (5º F) and –3º C (5º F) of that selected for the passenger area.
That is, if 22º C is chosen for the passengers, the driver may select between 19 and
25º C.

If the passenger air conditioning is off, that limit does not exist and the driver may
choose a temperature between 17º C (63º F) and 27º C (82º F).

The upper temperature limit for the driver is HI and in which the heating will work at
maximum power. The lower limit is LO and in that case the air conditioning will work at
maximum power.

1. 3. Driver fan speed adjustment.

The keys

(4) and (5) are pressed to vary the driver area fan speed.

The driver fan speed may be varied from 1 to 5. If the speed the Ecomaster Comfort
has selected automatically is changed, the new speed chosen is shown on the screen
and the red LED beside the key

(16) goes off.

The speed selected may vary from 0 to 5, with the following limitations:

• If the vehicle motor is stopped, only up to speed 1 is allowed.

• If in dehumidifier mode, it will automatically set to speed 5.

• If the compressor is connected, the speed may not be less than 3 to avoid the

evaporator freezing.
