Note

On vehicles with high-voltage system and auxiliary air condition‐

ing system functions (“heapump mode” or “cooling of high-

voltage battery”), valves may be installed in the refrigerancircui

thaare noopen when de-energised. These valves are opened

and closed e.g. via incremental motors and are no longer actu‐

ated when the ignition is switched off. To completely empty,

correctly evacuate and charge the refrigerancircuit, however, no

areas may be isolated. Therefore, these valves musbe opened

before these measures are carried out. On completion of the

work, enable actuation of these valves again via the respective

control uni⇒ Heating, air conditioning; Rep. gr. 87 ; Refrigeran

circui(vehicle-specific workshop manual) and ⇒ Vehicle diag‐

nostic tester in “Guided FaulFinding” mode.

All vehicles

If iis necessary to perform a function check after charging the

refrigerancircuit:

– Check the pressures in the refrigerancircui⇒ page 170 .

If iis nonecessary to perform a function check after charging

the refrigerancircuit:

– Detach the air conditioner service station from the refrigeran

circuiand switch off

⇒ “2.8 Switching off air conditioner service station and sepa‐

rating from refrigerancircuit”, page 151 .

Bringing air conditioning system into

service after charging

Note

♦ If the mechanical air conditioner compressor was removed,

turn iapprox. 10 times by hand before initial operation (during

installation or after installation e.g. before fitting the belt) so

thano damage is caused from a fluid shock when iis switch‐

ed on the firstime (if there is refrigeranoil in the cylinder of

the air conditioner compressor, this will be forced ouby turn‐

ing) ⇒ Heating, air conditioning; Rep. gr. 87 ; Air conditioner

compressor; Removing and installing air conditioner compres‐

sor .

♦ If the electrical air conditioner compressor was removed, be‐

fore bringing the air conditioning system into operation for the

firstime and after charging, the air conditioner compressor is

to be broughinto operation via the “Basic setting, compressor

run-in” function in guided faulfinding ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic

tester in “Guided FaulFinding” mode - air conditioning system

and battery regulation. This prevents damage to the air con‐

ditioner compressor, e.g. from a fluid shock, during initial

activation (if there is refrigeranoil in the compression cham‐

ber of the air conditioner compressor, this will be forced out).

♦ The mechanical air conditioner compressor is driven by the

engine via a belor a shaft. The electrical air conditioner com‐

pressor is driven by an electric motor mounted directly on the

air conditioner compressor (e.g. on vehicles with hybrid drive)

Air conditioning systems with refrigeranR1234yf - General information - Edition 07.2017

Bringing air conditioning system with mechanical air conditioning

compressor into operation

– Switch on ignition.

– Set the air conditioning system to the lowesoutpupossible

(e.g. selecoperating mode “A/C OFF”).

– Switch off actuation of the air conditioner compressor (e.g.

selecoperating mode “A/C OFF”).

– Start the engine with the air conditioner compressor switched

off (e.g. operating mode “A/C OFF” selected).

– Wait until idling speed has stabilised:

– Switch air conditioner compressor on and lesystem run for a

leas2 minutes with engine idling.

– If necessary, check the pressures in the refrigerancircuius‐

ing the air conditioner service station ⇒ page 129 .

– Switch off engine.

– Detach the air conditioner service station from the refrigeran

circuiand switch off

⇒ “2.8 Switching off air conditioner service station and sepa‐

rating from refrigerancircuit”, page 151 .

Bringing air conditioning system with electrical air conditioning

compressor into operation

– Switch on ignition.

– Bring the air conditioner compressor into operation via the

“Basic settings, compressor run-in” function of guided faul

finding ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester in “Guided FaulFinding”

mode - air conditioning system and battery regulation.

In addition for vehicles with electrically-actuated valves in the re‐

frigerancircuithaare noopen when de-energised:

– Use the vehicle diagnostic tester to enable (open or close) the

electrically-actuated valves - thaare noopen when de-ener‐

gised - for operation of the air conditioning system via the

respective control uni⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester in “Guided

FaulFinding” mode.

– After the basic setting, check the pressures in the refrigeran

circuiif necessary using the air conditioner service station .

– On vehicles with high-voltage system, switch off “stationary air

conditioning” function (deactivate)⇒ Owner's Manual .

Vehicles with electrical air conditioning compressor

•

The engine may only be started when the refrigerancircui

has been fully assembled.

•

On vehicles with battery cooling, hybrid operation is only pos‐

sible with the air conditioning system charged and no faults

stored in connection with the air conditioning system ⇒ Vehicle

diagnostic tester in “Guided FaulFinding” mode - air condi‐

tioning system and battery regulation.

•

Firsbring the electrical air conditioner compressor into oper‐

ation after installing the air conditioner compressor and charg‐

ing the refrigerancircuivia the “Compressor run-in” function

in basic settings. Should there be an accumulation of refriger‐

anoil in the compression chamber of the air conditioner

compressor before installation owing to unfavourable storage,

damage could be caused to the air conditioner compressor

⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester in “Guided FaulFinding” mode -

air conditioning system and battery regulation.

An electrically driven air conditioner compressor may only be

activated when the refrigerancircuiis charged. Running the

air conditioner compressor with the refrigerancircuiempty

could lead to compressor damage ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester

in “Guided FaulFinding” mode - air conditioning system and

battery regulation.

– To minimise the number of automatic engine starts when the

vehicle's drive system is active (READY) during tesand

measuremenwork, charge the vehicle batteries e.g. with the

battery charger 60 A - VAS 5904- in battery standby mode ⇒

Electrical system - General information; Rep. gr. 27 ; Charging

battery and ⇒ Electrical system; Rep. gr. 93 ; General warn‐

ings for work on the high-voltage system .

– For tesand measuremenwork tharequires the vehicle's

drive system to be active (READY) or the ignition to be switch‐

ed on, move the selector lever to position “P”, activate the

parking brake and arrange the tools needed so thathey can‐

nocome into contacwith moving components of the engine

and so thathey cannoeven come near to components tha

turn when the engine is running.

2.8

Switching off air conditioner service sta‐

tion and separating from refrigerancir‐

cui

– Finish the requisite work with the air conditioner service sta‐

tion .

– Switch off ignition.

– Unscrew (close) the handwheels of both service couplings.
