GENERAL DESCRIPTION

M25501000001USA0000010000

The blower, heater, and evaporator have been
integrated with the heater and A/C system to achieve
a greater fan power and noise reduction. Manual A/C
is installed on LS models; automatic A/C is installed
on XLS models.

FEATURES

IMPROVEMENTS IN COMFORT

｠

The outside/inside air circulation switching, air
outlet, and outlet air temperature are automatically
controlled according to the ambient temperature,
solar radiation, and passenger compartment
temperature so that the optimum air conditioning
has been achieved. <Automatic A/C>

｠

By the adoption of clean air filter, the air quality
inside the passenger compartment has been
improved.

IMPROVEMENTS IN OPERATION
PERFORMANCE

｠

Operability has been improved by the adoption of
large triple dial.

｠

Customize function has been added for the
improved convenience.

IMPROVEMENTS IN FUEL ECONOMY

｠

The high efficiency compressor with a 2-step profile
oil separator has been installed, thus improving the
fuel economy.

｠

The idle-up speed is controlled in two steps to
secure the air cooling performance during summer
and to improve the fuel economy in the seasons
with moderate temperature.

｠

Improvement of fuel economy by the cooling fan
control depending on the refrigerant pressure and
vehicle speed.

GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

｠

New refrigerant system (HFC134a) has been
adopted.

｠

By the optimization of A/C system, the refrigerant
charging amount has been reduced.

｠

Clean air filter media and its cover are separated to
reduce waste materials.

IMPROVEMENTS IN SERVICE QUALITY

｠

Reduction of refrigerant gas leakage and
improvement in serviceability by incorporating
condenser and receiver

｠

Clean air filter is installed to the backside of glove
box to facilitate the filter replacement.

IMPROVEMENTS IN RESPONSIBILITY
Reliable information transmission is achieved by
connecting A/C-ECU and each ECU via CAN
communication.
