Control Operation

Control Operation

DISPLAY SCREEN
Displays the operational status of the system.

AUTO SWITCH
- The compressor, intake doors, air mix doors, outlet 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.

TEMPERATURE SWITCH (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (DRIVER SIDE)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.

TEMPERATURE 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.

RECIRCULATION (REC) SWITCH
- When REC switch is ON, REC switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to REC.
- When REC switch is ON and is pressed for approximately 1.5 seconds or longer, REC and FRE switch indicators blink twice. Then, automatic control mode is entered. Inlet status is displayed even during automatically controlled.
- When FRE switch is turned ON, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC switch is automatically turned OFF (fixed to FRE mode). REC mode can be re-entered by pressing REC switch again.
- REC switch is not operated when DEF switch is turned ON, or at the D/F position.

FRESH (FRE) SWITCH
- When FRE switch is ON, FRE switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to FRE.
- When FRE switch is ON and is pressed for approximately 1.5 seconds or longer, REC and FRE switch indicators blink twice. Then, automatic control mode is entered. Inlet status is displayed even during automatically controlled.
- When REC switch is turned ON, FRE switch is automatically turned OFF (fixed to REC mode). FRE mode can be re-entered by pressing FRE switch again.

DEFROSTER (DEF) SWITCH
Positions the air outlet doors to the defrost position. Also positions the intake doors to the fresh air position.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When illumination is ON, rear window is defogged.

OFF SWITCH
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the fresh air position, and the air outlet doors are set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.

A/C SWITCH
The compressor is ON or OFF.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the AUTO switch is ON will turn off the A/C switch and compressor.)

MODE SWITCH
Controls the air discharge outlets.

FAN SWITCH
Manually control the blower speed. Seven speeds are available for manual control (as shown on the display screen).

DUAL SWITCH (WITH LEFT AND RIGHT VENTILATION TEMPERATURE SEPARATELY CONTROL SYSTEM)
- When the DUAL switch indicator is not illuminated and the DUAL switch is pressed, the driver-side setting temperature and passenger-side setting temperature can each be set independently.
- When the DUAL switch indicator is illuminated and the DUAL switch is pressed, the driver-side setting temperature are applied to both sides.

Fail-Safe Function
- If a communication error exists between unified meter and A/C amp. and A/C and AV switch for 30 seconds or longer, air conditioner is controlled under following conditions:
- Compressor: ON
- Air outlet: AUTO
- Air inlet: FRE (Fresh)
- Blower fan speed: AUTO
- Set temperature: Setting before communication error occurs
