Front Air Conditioning Control Panel
An air conditioning control assembly with built-in switches and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is positioned in the center of the instrument panel.
The blower switch, air outlet mode switching switch, fresh/recirculation switch, A/C switch, REAR switch, OFF switch and AUTO switch use an electrostatic capacitor type touch switch. These switches detect changes in electrostatic capacity at the point of contact and send operation signals to the air conditioning amplifier assembly.
In accordance with the use of the left and right independent temperature control system, the temperature setting dials are provided separately for the driver side and front passenger side. In addition, the DUAL switch is provided to change the mode between cooperated operation mode and left and right independent temperature control mode.
The REAR switch is provided so that the rear air conditioning system can be operated even from the front seat.
