SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. General

The air conditioning system has the following features:

- A compact, lightweight, and highly efficient electrical water pump is used in order to ensure the proper heater performance while the engine is stopped.
- A left / right independent temperature control and neural network control have been adopted to make air conditioner control available to suit the perception of the persons in the driver seat and in the passenger seat. Automatic air conditioner is standard in all models.
- A left/right independent temperature control and neural network control have been adopted to make air conditioner control available to suit the perception of the persons in the driver seat and in the passenger seat. Automatic air conditioner is standard in all models.
- A semi-center location air conditioner unit, in which the evaporator and heater core are placed in the vehicle's longitudinal direction, is used.
- A compact, lightweight, and highly efficient straight flow (full-path flow) aluminum heater core is used.
- A revolutionary slim structure evaporator is used.
- A humidity sensor function has been added to the room temperature sensor in order to optimize the amount of dehumidification effort during the operation of the air conditioning system.
- A deodorizing function that eliminates the exhaust gas smell that enters the cabin from the outside has been added to the conventional clean air filter.
- The air conditioning ECU is equipped with a self-diagnosis function. If there is a malfunction in the system, it stores the DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) in its memory.
