If the driver adjusts a desired temperature at the IHKA controls, the IHKA
calculates a corresponding
nominal temperature and compares it to the actual output temperature of the
electrical heating.
When the coolant temperature is low, for example after driving off, or in
all-electric driving, the electric
changeover valve is activated by the Body Domain Controller (BDC). The
electrical changeo
The cooling system of the G20 PHEV is filled with the new antifreeze and
corrosion inhibitor Frostox
HT-12. The new antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor increases the long-term
stability and corrosion

To increase the service life of the high-voltage battery unit and obtain the
greatest possible power, it
is operated in a defined temperature range. The high-voltage battery unit is
essentially operational at
an ambient temperature of -40 ºF to 131 ºF (-40 ºC to +55 ºC ) (actual cell
Concept
The air flow for climate control can be adjusted
manually.
General information
To adjust the air flow manually switch off AUTO
program first.
Operation
Press the lower or upper side of
the
button: decrease or increase air flow.
The selected air flow is shown on the climate
control display.
