AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. An air conditioning unit that is compatible with 3-zone temperature control*1 or left and right independent temperature control*2 is used.

      Tech Tips

      *1: Models with 3-zone Temperature Control System

      *2: Models with Left and Right Independent Temperature Control System

    2. A partial recirculation structure that circulates a portion of the air in the cabin when in fresh air mode is used in an effort to improve heater performance.

    3. A Revolutionary super-Slim structure (RS) type evaporator is used.

    4. A Straight Flow Aluminum-II (SFA-II) heater core that is compact and offers advanced performance is used.

    5. A compact wide-angle high flow defroster that gives the defroster nozzle assembly inner wall a radial shape is used to ensure superior defroster performance.

    6. A pollen-removal type clean air filter, which has a pollen-and-odor removal effect, is used.

    7. The adoption of the rear heater duct and the console box duct improves comfort for the rear seat passengers.

      Tech Tips

      *1: The table shows the left and right air outlets and rear seat air outlets operating simultaneously. On the models with 3-zone temperature control, each seat air outlet can be switched independently.

      *2: For driver side center register and side register

      *3: For front passenger side center register and side register

      *4: For driver side footwell register

      *5: For console box register and rear footwell register ducts

      *6: For front passenger side footwell register

      *7: On models for Europe, when the volume of air from the center register and side register is large, air blows out slightly from the center defroster and side defroster.

      *8: When the rear seat air outlets are stopped by the left and right independent temperature control, or when front seat control mode is turned on through the S-FLOW control of the 3-zone temperature control.

      *9: The driver seat control mode is turned on by the S-FLOW control of the 3-zone temperature control.
