Location 

The heater heat exchanger is located in the air conditioner housing underneath the dashboard.

Task 

The heater heat exchanger warms the air flow which is directed to the vehicle interior via the various air distribution vents.

Function 

Coolant heated by the engine is constantly flowing through the heater heat exchanger.

The heat is dissipated via the coiled pipes and lamellae made of aluminum towards the outside to the air blowing by, which is heated up in the process and then routed into the vehicle interior.
