CONSTRUCTION
An air conditioning unit that is compatible with left and right independent temperature control is used.
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.
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 compact wide-angle high flow defroster that gives the defroster nozzle assembly inner wall a radial shape is used to ensure superior defroster performance.
A pollen removal type filter is used.
The adoption of the rear heater duct and the console box duct improves comfort for the rear seat passengers.
