Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0974742A2] The cooling circuit of a motor vehicle is controlled and altered according to the determined position of the vehicle and its forthcoming position, according to the road it is traveling on. For example if the vehicle is approaching a hill the cooling capacity is increased before the hill is reached. The current position is determined using a GPS receiver and the navigational system includes a CD-ROM with roads and associated data for example altitude variations.
