The rear air conditioning is connected via a connector on the firewall.
The connection between the rear and front air conditioning units is via pipes and rubber hoses inside the passenger compartment. The fan (1) is operated using a control (5) placed on a panel at the rear of the passenger compartment.
The compressor, condenser and receiver drier are used together by the front and rear air conditioning units.
A T-connection is located on the high-pressure side in the engine compartment between the receiver drier and the expansion valve. A T-connection for refrigerant, with high pressure, from the front climate control unit to the rear climate control unit.
