AUTO SWITCH
The compressor, intake doors, air mix doors, mode 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 automati-
cally controlled.
TEMPERATURE SWITCH (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (DRIVER SIDE)
The set temperature is increased or decreased with this dial.
TEMPERATURE SWITCH (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (PASSENGER SIDE)
The set temperature is increased or decreased with this dial.
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 auto-
matically controlled.
When FRE switch is turned ON, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC switch is automati-
cally 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 auto-
matically 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
Mode doors are set to the defrost position with this switch. Also, intake doors are set to the outside air position,
and compressor turns ON.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When illumination is ON, rear window is defogged.
OFF SWITCH
Compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the outside air position, and the mode doors are
set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.
A/C SWITCH
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
The air discharge outlets is controlled by this switch.
FAN SWITCH
The blower speed is manually controlled with this switch. Seven speeds are available for manual control (as
shown on the display screen).
DUAL SWITCH (WITH LEFT AND RIGHT VENTILATION TEMPERATURE SEPARATELY CON-
TROL SYSTEM)
When the DUAL switch indicator is illuminated, 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 not illuminated, the driver-side outlet and setting temperature is
applied to both sides.

Fail-safe FunctionAJS0014E
If a communication error exists between unified meter and A/C amp. and A/C and AV switch for 30 sec-
onds 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

CAN Communication System DescriptionAJS0014H
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN-H line, CAN-L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details, refer to LAN-30,
"CAN Communication Unit" .

Operational CheckAJS0014Q
The purpose of the operational check is to check if the individual system operates properly.
CHECKING MEMORY FUNCTION
1. Set the temperature to 32°C (90 °F).
2. Press OFF switch.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF.
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
5. Press the AUTO switch.
6. Confirm that the set temperature remains at previous tempera- ture.
7. Press OFF switch.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-103, "
Memory
Function" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING BLOWER
1. Press fan (UP) switch. Blower should operate on low speed. The
fan symbol should have one blade lit.
2. Press fan (UP) switch again, and continue checking blower speed and fan symbol until all speeds are checked.
3. Leave blower on max. speed.
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for AT C - 7 9 , "
Blower Motor
Circuit" .
If OK, continue the check.
CHECKING DISCHARGE AIR
1. Press MODE switch and DEF switch.
2. Each position indicator should change shape.
3. Confirm that discharge air comes out according to the air distri- bution table. Refer to AT C - 3 7 , "
Discharge Air Flow" .
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for AT C - 7 0 , "
Mode Door
Motor Circuit" .
If OK, continue the check.
NOTE:
Confirm that the compressor clutch is engaged (sound or visual
inspection) and intake door position is at FRESH when the D/F or

and Ground Circuit for Auto Amp." , then if necessary, trouble diag-
nosis procedure for AT C - 8 4 , "
Magnet Clutch Circuit" .
If all operational checks are OK (symptom cannot be duplicated), go
to Incident Simulation Tests in GI-27, "
How to Perform Efficient Diag-
nosis for an Electrical Incident" and perform tests as outlined to sim-
ulate driving conditions environment. If symptom appears, refer to
AT C - 4 2 , "
