The new heater unit integrates blower, and evapora-
tor, it increases the air flow but reduces air flow
resistance and air flow noise.

FEATURES

ENHANCEMENTS IN COMFORT

• With the adoption of automatic A/C system, the

inlets (fresh air/recirculation air), the vents, tem-
perature at the vents and fan speed are automat-
ically the controlled according to the outside
temperature and cabin temperature so that the
optimum air conditioner is achieved.

• By the adoption of clean air filter, the air quality in

the cabin has been kept.

• Improves the cooling performance by optimal

refrigerant line routing and prevents potential
refrigerant leaks by reducing refrigerant line con-
nections.

• Independent air conditioner control function

allows individual temperature adjustment at the
right and left depending on which the customer
prefers.<Vehicles with DUAL-ZONE AUTO A/C>

ENHANCEMENTS IN OPERATION
PERFORMANCE

• To enhance luxurious appearance and conven-

ience, a liquid crystal display panel has been
adopted.

• Customize function has been added for the

enhanced convenience.

ENHANCEMENTS IN FUEL ECONOMY

• The 3D-profile high efficiency compressor has

been installed, thus improving the fuel economy.

• The idle-up speed is controlled in two steps to

secure the air cooling performance during sum-
mer and to enhance the fuel economy in the
moderate seasons.

• The cooling fan control depending on the refriger-

ant pressure and on the vehicle speed reduce
alternator load, thus enhancing the fuel economy.

ENHANCEMENT IN SAFETY

• A/C system will shut down automatically if the air

bags are open.

• Crushable space has been adopted into heater

unit to reduce the risk of passenger injuries if a
collision occurred.

GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

• Refrigerant system (HFC134a) has been

adopted.

• Clean air filter media and its cover are separated

to reduce waste materials, when replacing the fil-
ter.

ENHANCEMENTS IN SERVICE QUALITY

• Reduction of refrigerant gas leakage and

enhancement in serviceability by incorporating
condenser and receiver

• Clean air filter is installed to the backside of glove

box to facilitate the filter replacement.

ENHANCEMENTS IN RESPONSIBILITY

Reliable information transmission is achieved by
connecting A/C-ECU and each ECU via CAN com-
munication.
