Function requirements, general
^ Control functions: circuit 15
^ Climate control: Engine running
The electronic ignition lock control unit transmits the status of circuit 15 over the interior CAN. The "Engine running" signal is sent by the CDI control unit or from the ME-SFI [ME] control unit over the chassis CAN and forwarded by the front SAM control unit over the interior CAN to the control and operating unit.

Automatic air conditioning, general
Two different automatic air conditioning versions are installed:
- Automatic air conditioning with 2-zone temperature control (without code (581) comfort automatic air conditioning )
- Automatic air conditioning with 3-zone temperature control (with code (581) Comfort automatic air conditioning)
Regulation and control are performed in each case by the control and operating unit.
The automatic air conditioning without code (581) Comfort automatic air conditioning is equipped with a separate temperature control for the left and the right half of the vehicle.
Blower control takes place with 1 zone and can be operated manually or controlled automatically.
The automatic air conditioning with code (581) Comfort automatic air conditioning is equipped with a separate temperature control for the left and the right half of the vehicle and for the rear compartment. The front blower control can be manually or automatically operated. Manual operation is only possible in the rear using a separate rear automatic air conditioning operating unit.
The blower is controlled in 2 zones (front and rear)
The automatic air conditioning encompasses the following subfunctions:
^ Heating circuit function sequence
^ Function sequence for residual engine heat utilization (with code (581) Comfort automatic air conditioning without code (494) USA version)

Further subfunctions are described in separate documents:
^ Automatic air conditioning refrigerant circuit, function
^ Ventilation system, function
^ Regulation of Automatic air conditioning, function
^ Heated rear window, function


Heating circuit function sequence
Driven by the coolant pump, the coolant circulates in the engine cooling circuit. In the process, it absorbs engine heat. The heated coolant passes through the heater heat exchanger, which dissipates heat to the air blowing by.
At low engine speed or when the engine is stopped (with code (B03) ECO start/stop function) the coolant circulation pump (with code (581) Comfort automatic air conditioning or code (B03) ECO start/stop function) is actuated to ensure that there is a sufficiently high flow rate to heat the blowby air.
The coolant circulation pump is actuated by the front SAM control unit on request of the control and operating unit.

Function sequence for residual engine heat utilization (with code (581) Comfort automatic air conditioning without code (494) USA version)
Pressing the REST button on the control and operating unit switches on the residual engine heat utilization function. The control and operating unit sends the request via interior CAN to the front SAM control unit, which directly actuates the coolant circulation pump. The coolant circulation pump delivers the still warm (residual heat) coolant through the heat exchanger.
At the same time, the control and operating unit sends the ventilation request to the blower regulator, which then actuates the blower motor at reduced power. The air drawn in by the blower motor is routed along the heater heat exchanger and thus heated up.
The function is terminated after a specified fixed time or when the on-board power supply voltage drops below a certain value.
