Function in heating mode

The quantity of coolant pumped to the heater core with the engine running depends on the coolant pump. The coolant circulation pump ensures that the water flows through the heater core uniformly without bubbles even at low speeds.

The coolant circulation pump is controlled by the pushbutton control module.

Function with residual engine heat utilization

The coolant circulation pump pumps the heated coolant to the heater core when the engine is standing still. When the REST button is pressed the temperature is controlled by the pushbutton control module (in the same manner as when the ignition is ON). The pushbutton control module switches the electric motor for the coolant circulation pump which drives the impeller via a magnetic clutch.
