DISPLAY SCREEN
MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH
DISPLAY SCREEN
Displays the operational status of the system.
MODE SWITCH (DRIVER SIDE)
- Controls the air discharge outlets.
- When the DUAL switch indicator is not illuminated, the left and right outlets are switched together.
- When the DUAL switch indicator is illuminated, only the driver-side outlet is switched.
MODE SWITCH (PASSENGER SIDE)
When the MODE switch (passenger-side) is pressed, the DUAL switch indicator illuminates, and only the passenger-side outlet is switched.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL SWITCH (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (DRIVER SIDE)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL SWITCH (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (PASSENGER SIDE)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.
When the temperature switch is pressed, the DUAL switch indicator will automatically illuminate.
AUTO SWITCH
- The compressor, intake doors, air mix doors, mode doors and blower speed are automatically controlled so that the in-vehicle temperature will reach, and be maintained at the set temperature selected by the operator.
- When pressing AUTO switch, air inlet, air outlet, fan speed, and discharge air temperature are automatically controlled.
DEFROSTER (DEF) SWITCH
Positions the air outlet doors to the defrost position. Also positions the intake doors to the outside air position, and compressor will turn ON.
UPPER VENT SWITCH
- When UPPER VENT switch is ON, UPPER VENT switch indicator turn ON, and upper ventilator door is automatically controlled.
- When DEFROSTER (DEF) switch is OFF, upper ventilator door is controlled.
- When MODE position (driver side) is VENT or B/L, upper ventilation door is controlled.
- When UPPER VENT switch is OFF, UPPER VENT switch indicator turn OFF, and upper ventilator door is shut.
A/C SWITCH
The compressor is ON or OFF.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the A/C switch is ON will turn off the A/C switch and compressor.)
FAN SWITCHES
Manually control the blower speed. Seven speeds are available for manual control (as shown on the display screen).
OFF SWITCH
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the outside air position, and the air outlet doors are set to the foot (19% vent, 58% foot and 23% defrost) position.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When illumination is ON, rear window is defogged.
INTAKE SWITCH
- When intake switch is ON, FRE LED turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to FRE.
- When press intake switch again, REC LED turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to REC.
- When intake switch is pressed for approximately 1.5 seconds or longer, FRE and REC LEDs blink twice. Then, automatic control mode is entered. Inlet status is displayed by LED even during automatic controlled.
- When FRE LED is turned ON, shifting mode position to D/F or DEF, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, intake switch is automatically turned OFF (fixed to FRE mode). REC mode can be re-entered by pressing intake switch again, and then compressor is turned ON. (Except D/F or DEF position)
DUAL SWITCH
- When the DUAL switch indicator is illuminated, the driver-side outlet and passenger-side outlet, as well as the setting temperature, can each be set independently.
- When the DUAL switch indicator is not illuminated, the driver-side outlet and setting temperature is applied to both sides.
Control Operation (Real Control Switch)
AUTO SWITCH
- When pressing AUTO switch, display for turned on AUTO and fan speed is automatically controlled.
- When pressing AUTO switch, air inlet, air outlet, fan speed, and discharge air temperature are automatically controlled.
FAN SWITCH
Manually control the blower speed. Five speeds are available for manual control (as shown on the display screen).
REAR TEMPERATURE CONTROL SWITCH
- Increases or decreases the set temperature.
- A temperature for the rear seat with respect to a set temperature for the front seat can be adjusted by operating switch.
- Rear temperature control switch allows to select a temperature every 0.5 degree C (1 degree F) in the 18 degrees C (60 degrees F) to 32 degrees C (90 degrees F) range.
- When the driver's seat and the passenger's seat are independent, temperature for the rear seat changes keeping the temperature difference between two front seats. [e.g. When lowering the set temperature for the rear seat 1 degrees C (2 degrees F) by operating rear control switch at a set temperature of 25 degrees C (77 degrees F) for the driver's seat and 26 degrees C (79 degrees F) for the passenger's seat, the set temperature for the driver's seat and passenger's seat lower 1 degree C (2 degrees F) and become 24 degrees C (75 degrees F) for the driver's seat and 25 degrees C (77 degrees F) for the passenger's seat.]
NOTE: A set temperature for the rear seat is tied to a set temperature for the passenger's seat. Therefore, a set temperature for the rear seat changes in conjunction with a set temperature for the passenger's seat (When front seats are independent).
Fail-Safe Function
- If a communication error exists among unified meter and A/C amp., AV control unit or NAVI control unit and multifunction switch for 30 seconds or longer, air conditioner is controlled under the following conditions:
- Compressor: ON
- Air outlet: AUTO
- Air inlet: FRE (Fresh)
- Blower fan speed: AUTO
- Set temperature: Setting before communication error occurs
