Function
The automatic air conditioning is regulated via the heater/AC operating unit, which is networked with the vehicle electronics via CAN. This permits the best possible climate control while considering any climate-relevant events, as well as the adaptation of the engine management to the power absorption capacity of the refrigerant compressor.

The following information is directly read in by the heater/AC operating unit:
^ Evaporator temperature via evaporator temperature sensor
^ Refrigerant pressure via refrigerant pressure sensor
^ Interior temperature via the interior temperature sensor (N23b1) integrated in the heater/AC operating unit
^ Position feedback by the blend air flap actuator

The following information is transmitted to the heater/AC operating unit via CAN:
^ Outside temperature via the instrument cluster
^ Coolant temperature via the ME control unit

The following components are directly actuated by the heater/ AC operating unit:
^ Blend air flap actuator
^ Air recirculation flap actuator motor

The following components are actuated by the heater/AC operating unit via CAN:
^ Refrigerant compressor via SAM control unit

To prevent damage to the climate control system, the refrigerant compressor is switched off at refrigerant pressures above 28 bar.
