Control Operation

Control Operation

DISPLAY SCREEN
Displays the operational status of the system.

AUTO SWITCH (DRIVER SIDE)
- 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 the A/C system is operating, if the screen is not displayed, press the AUTO switch once to display the A/C screen. (The display time is determined by the navigation system settings.) Or, when the A/C system is in manual control, and the DUAL switch is depressed, pressing the AUTO switch changes to auto-control for the driver side only.

AUTO SWITCH (PASSENGER SIDE)
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 the A/C system is operating, if the screen is not displayed, press the AUTO switch once to display the A/C screen. (The display time is determined by the navigation system settings.) Or, when the A/C system is in manual control, and the DUAL switch is depressed, pressing the AUTO switch changes to auto-control for the passenger side only.

TEMPERATURE DIAL (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (DRIVER SIDE)
Increase or decrease the set temperature.

TEMPERATURE DIAL (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (PASSENGER SIDE)
- Increase or decrease the set temperature.
- When the temperature control dial is turned, the DUAL switch indicator will automatically illuminate.

INTAKE SWITCH
Set the inlet to automatic control or to REC-fixed. However, REC-fixed cannot be selected in DEF mode. When the FRE switch is ON, the air inlet will be automatically controlled.

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

OFF SWITCH
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the outside air position, and the air outlet doors are set to the foot (80% foot and 20% defrost) position.

MODE SWITCH (DRIVER SIDE)
- When the DUAL switch indicator is illuminated, the left and right outlets are switched together.
- When the DUAL switch indicator is not illuminated, only the driver-side outlet is switched.

MODE SWITCH (PASSENGER SIDE)
When the MODE switch is pressed, the DUAL switch indicator illuminates, and only the passenger-side outlet is switched.

ECON (ECONOMY) SWITCH
- When pressing ECON switch, "ECON" appears on display and control is switched to economy control.
- Press ECON switch again. The compressor always turns OFF. (ECON disappears on display)

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

DUAL SWITCH
- When the DUAL switch indicator is not illuminated and the DUAL switch is pressed, the driver-side outlet and passenger-side outlet, as well as the setting temperature, can each be set independently.
- When the DUAL switch indicator is illuminated and the DUAL switch is pressed, the driver-side outlet and setting temperature is applied to both sides.

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
- If a communication error exists between auto amplifier and AV control unit or AV and NAVI control unit for 30 seconds or longer, air conditioner is controlled under following conditions:
- Compressor: ON
- Air outlet: AUTO
- Blower fan speed: AUTO
- Set temperature: Setting before communication error occurs.
