The following front heater unit has been adopted.

• A case of thinner panel thickness, a narrower

evaporator and condenser, a smaller expansion
valve, a lighter power transistor are used to save
weight.

• Higher density in the core enhances the cooling

performance. Internal temperature in the evapo-
rator are equalised due to an optimum multi-flow
structure and refrigerant circuit, thus improving
comfort.

• Openings on the dash panel are sealed securely

by adding a cover, etc. to the expansion valve.
Insulation pads are adhered to the HVAC case
and the duct, thus improving sound absorption
and insulation against external noise.

• A heater/cooling assembly unit is adopted for

greater fan power and reduced noise.

• The evaporator and heater core has been longi-

tudinally installed in the vehicle length, and a
crushable space has been ensured so that it
absorbs the impact in case of a collision and
reduces the risk of passenger injuries.

• Inside air recirculation is controlled by driving the

inside/outside damper, thus improving the heat-
ing performance in winter.

• The air temperature of the defroster outlets has

been set lower than at the foot outlets to prevent
the red glow on face in winter. In order to avoid
too cool temperature around the torso, the air dis-
tribution at the side face and foot outlets is opti-
mised.

• Clean air filter has been introduced as standard

to prevent the intrusion of foreign materials
including pollen, dust and cigarette smoke to
improve the air quality inside the passenger com-
partment.

• The installation position of clean air filter has

been set to the backside of glove box to facilitate
the filter replacement operation. At the same
time, the one-touch tab structure has been
adopted for the cover installation to enable the
replacement operation without tools.

• The air mixing damper control motors and the air

mixing dampers are installed as shown. The air
mixing dampers can be operated independently
to allow passengers to set temperature each for
the driver and the front passenger. <Vehicles with
DUAL-ZONE AUTO A/C>
