Air-volume control wheel

The blower speed is set by turning the air-volume control wheel.

Blower operation

The blower creates the necessary air-mass flow. The blower is fitted after the fresh air recirculated-air flap in the heater/air conditioning system (pushing blower arrangement).

The blower speed is set by turning the air-volume control wheel. The blower ballast resistor enables a 4-stage adjustment of the blower. Depending on the setting, a number of resistor coils of the line resistor in are activated in line to reduce the voltage at the blower motor. There is no integrated dynamic-pressure compensation on the IHS/ IHKS. This means that the compensation must be made manually by adjusting the blower output.

The blower ballast resistor is not self-diagnosable.
