GENERAL
The air conditioning system has the following features:
The air conditioning amplifier controls the operation of parts, such as the A/C compressor, automatically in accordance with the operating conditions of the air conditioning system.
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 600 W, 450 W and 150 W, because of its 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.
