CONTROL PANEL

MODELS WITH AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
- A motor driven actuator is used for air outlet switching, driver and passenger side temperature control, and FRESH/RECIRC switching.
- A large sized LCD panel which excels in visibility is used for the control panel.
- To eliminate errors due to heat, the cabin temperature sensor is moved from the control panel to the console side panel.
