1. Switches the radiator fan to the next higher level when the pressure in the refrigerant circuit increases (approximately 16 bar (232.06 psi)).

2. Switches off the A/C system if the pressure (approximately 32 bar (464.12 psi)) is excessive (for example, due to insufficient engine cooling).

3. Switches off the A/C system if the pressure (approximately 2 bar (29.01 psi)) is insufficient (for example, loss of refrigerant).

NOTE:

The A/C Pressure Switch -F129- replaces the A/C Refrigerant High Pressure Switch -F23-, A/C Refrigerant Low Pressure Switch -F73- and the Magnetic Clutch High Pressure Switch -F118-.
