Note:

Compressor relay K60 switches on the compressor magnetic clutch Y1 when the following conditions are fulfilled:

- Compressor clutch can only engage when the engine is running.

- Engine running at nominal idle speed, operating temperature.

- Ambient temperature > 4°C/40 °F.

- Air conditioning switched on.

- Low pressure in refrigerant circuit > 180 kPa (1.8 bar).

- High pressure in refrigerant circuit < 3000 kPa (30 bar).

- Vehicles with C 14 NZ engine and power steering: power steering pressure switch S61 closed.

- Pressure at switch S61 < 4000 kPa (40 bar).
