Function 

Automatic air conditioning (AAC [KLA]) regulation is performed via the AAC [KLA] control unit. It is networked via the interior CAN, the chassis CAN, the telematics CAN, the central CAN, the AC bus and the AC LIN with the vehicle electronics system. This in turn makes it possible to incorporate additional climate-relevant influences, in order to improve the regulation quality and to lower power consumption.

The AAC [KLA] control unit receives the following information for regulation purposes: 

direct 

Temperature at the air outlets from the:

Refrigerant pressure from the refrigerant pressure sensor

Air flow setting at air outlets from the:

Via the interior CAN 

Via the AC bus 

The following components are actuated for control purposes: 

Direct 

Via the interior CAN 

Via the chassis CAN 

Via the AC LIN
