HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING: SOLAR VENTILATION SYSTEM: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. GENERAL

(a) The solar ventilation system ventilates the cabin when the vehicle is parked in an extremely hot environment. Ventilation is provided by the system operating the blower motor using electricity generated by the moon roof glass assembly (solar panel) installed on the roof.

HINT
* The solar ventilation system may operates even when not all conditions of the following table are met. Meeting all conditions of the following System Operation Condition Reference Table is necessary to obtain precise inspection results.

System Operation Conditions Reference Table





* Shortly after the solar ventilation system has been activated, it may stop the blower motor if the sunlight is not sufficient even when the rest of the system operation conditions reference table are met.

(b) Activation Control

(1) When the solar ventilation switch is turned on while the power switch is on (IG):

The inlets will be changed to fresh air mode and the outlets will be changed to face mode approximately 1 minute after the power switch is turned off. In addition, the blower motor will be activated and start ventilating the cabin approximately 10 minutes after the power switch is turned off.

HINT
In order to enhance ventilation efficiency, the inlets will be changed to fresh air mode and the outlets will be changed to face mode automatically when the solar ventilation switch is turned on while the power switch is on (IG).

(2) When the solar ventilation switch is turned on after the power switch is turned off:

The blower motor will be activated and start ventilating the cabin approximately 10 minutes after the solar ventilation switch is turned on.

HINT
Inlet and outlet modes will remain unchanged when the solar ventilation switch is turned on after the power switch is turned off.

(c) Stop Control

(1) When the solar ventilation switch is turned off or the power switch is turned on (IG), the solar ventilation system will stop operating.

HINT
After the power switch is turned on (IG), both the inlets and outlets return to the mode that they were in before the power switch was turned off.





2. FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS

(a) The solar ventilation system consists of the following components:
