Airflow Mode Automatic Control

• The climate control unit determines the airflow mode based on the current air mix actuator opening angle.

Correction

Engine coolant temperature correction (Warm-up correction)

• Switches the airflow mode after the engine is started in winter in accordance with the increase in engine coolant temperature to prevent discomfort caused by cold air blown towards the feet. The engine coolant temperature correction is performed only when the cabin temperature is 13 °C {55 °F} or less, or the cabin temperature is 23 °C {73 °F} or less and sunlight intensity is relatively low.

Airflow Mode Manual Control

• The airflow modes can be switched by operating the each mode switchs.
