AIR INTAKE CONTROL OPERATION

id074000103500

Air Intake Automatic Control

• Based on the ambient temperature and sunlight intensity, the climate control unit calculates the cabin temperature computation value. By comparison with this cabin temperature computation value and actual cabin temperature, air intake mode is determined.

Correction

MAX COLD correction

• When the temperature is set to MAX COLD (18.0: R.H.D., intensely hot area or 15.0: L.H.D. (except intensely hot area)), air intake is fixed in recirculated air intake mode to improve cooling effect. This correction does not operate when defroster correction is on or when the A/C compressor is in OFF mode or when the ambient temperature is below 5°C {41°F}.

Defroster correction

• When the defroster switch is on, air intake is fixed in fresh air intake mode to improve defrosting effect, and this correction also operates when recirculated air intake mode is on by manual operation.

Ambient temperature correction

• When the ambient temperature is 5°C {41°F} or below, air intake mode is fixed at FRESH to prevent windshield and front door glass fogging.

A/C OFF correction

• While in air intake automatic control and A/C OFF mode, air intake mode is fixed at FRESH.

Air Intake Manual Control

• The driver can switch air intake mode by operating the REC/FRESH switch.
