AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM(for Automatic Air Conditioning System) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. GENERAL


    1. The air conditioning system has the following features:


      • The air conditioning unit controls the temperature of the area around the left and right seats independently, and sets the temperature for the driver seat and front passenger seat. In addition, it uses the amount of sunlight and the temperature of the left and right seats to adjust the temperature and airflow volume.

      • In accordance with the temperature set using the temperature control switch, the air conditioning amplifier assembly determines the outlet air temperature based on the signals input from various sensors. In addition, corrections are made in accordance with the signals from the engine coolant temperature sensor to control the outlet air temperature.

      • Controls the blower motor in accordance with the airflow volume determined by the air conditioning amplifier assembly based on the signals input from various sensors.

      • Automatically changes the dampers in accordance with the outlet mode ratio that is determined by the air conditioning amplifier assembly based on the signals input from various sensors.

      • The Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heater system contains a PTC heater that heats the air that has passed through the heater core to ensure proper heater performance. The PTC heater is applicable and automatically controllable to 495 W, 330 W and 165 W, because of it is self-regulating characteristics.

      • A combustion type power heater is available as optional equipment to provide comfortable heater performance in cold areas.

      • A compact, lightweight, and highly efficient straight flow (full-path flow) aluminum heater core is used.

      • The micro dust and pollen filter control is used to remove pollen in the air around the upper areas of the driver and front passenger seats.

      • The air conditioning amplifier assembly is equipped with a self diagnosis function. If there is a malfunction in the system, it stores DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) in its memory.

    Tech Tips


    • The size of the circle indicates the proportion of airflow volume.

    • The same system is used for LHD and RHD vehicles.
