Control Operation

DISPLAY SCREEN
Displays the operational status of the system.

AUTO.ECON 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.ECON switch, air inlet, air outlet, fan speed, and discharge air temperature are automatically controlled. (Inlet is automatically controlled only when FRE or REC switch is OFF.)
- Press AUTO.ECON switch again. "ECON" appears on display and control is switched to economy control.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.

RECIRCULATION (REC) SWITCH
- When REC switch is ON, REC switch indicator turns ON, air inlet is fixed to REC, and compressor will turn ON.
- 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, air outlet switches to D/F or DEF position, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC switch is automatically turned OFF (fixed to FRE mode).

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 outside air position, and compressor will turn ON.

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 outside air position, and the air outlet doors are set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.

A/C 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 air conditioner system is operating and DUAL switch is pressed, only underlined portion of driver's seat set temperature indication on display (left-hand side) turns ON (and display shows "DRIVER"). Then, changing set temperature for driver's seat is possible using temperature control dial.
- When DUAL switch is pressed again, only underlined portion of passenger's seat set temperature indication on display (right-hand side) turns ON (and display shows "PASSENGER"). Then, changing set temperature for passenger's seat is possible using temperature control dial.
- When DUAL switch is pressed again, underlined portions of both seats set temperature indications turn ON (and display shows "DRIVER" and "PASSENGER"). Set temperatures for left and right can be set equal to temperature for driver's seat, with temperature control dial.

Fail-Safe Function
- If a communication error exists between display and A/C auto amp. and A/C and audio controller 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
