CONSTRUCTION
A rear air conditioning unit is used that integrates the heater and cooler.
The mode control door, which switches the air outlet mode, uses a laminate sliding type mode control door to achieve size and weight reduction.
A Revolutionary super-slim Structure (RS) type evaporator is used.
A Straight Flow Aluminum-II (SFA-II) heater core that is compact and offers advanced performance is used.
A foam molding type rear air duct is used, improving weight reduction and heat insulation performance.
