CONTROL SYSTEM
The manual and automatic A/Cs have the following
control functions.

AUTOMATIC CHANGE CONTROL OF
BLOW WIND TEMPERATURE
(COMPRESSOR
ENERGY-CONSERVATION CONTROL)
Optimum ON/OFF control of the compressor is
achieved according to the outside/inside air mode,
air temperature (air temperature sensor), and insula
-
tion.
OUTSIDE/INSIDE AIR AUTO SWITCHING
CONTROL
When the A/C is turned on in high ambient tempera-
ture, the recirculation function is automatically acti-
vated to cool down the passenger compartment and
improve fuel consumption.
COOLING FUN LOAD CONTROL
Depending on the A/C load, the cooling fan cycle
time is controlled and the exterior noise in the inter
-
mediary stage is decreased. Also, the load of the
alternator is decreased to improve the fuel economy.
COOLING CONTROL
If air temperature is high, the CVT rotates at a high
speed to prevent deterioration in cooling perform
-
ance.
DETECTION CONTROL FOR
REFRIGERANT LEAKS
When it is judged from the air temperature (air tem-
perature sensor) and the refrigerant pressure (A/C
pressure sensor) that the refrigerant amount is the
specified value or less, or the refrigerant pressure is
abnormal, the compressor is forced to be cut off to
protect the A/C system.
MAX A/C CONTROL
When MAX COOL position is set, automatically the
mode is changed to the inside air mode before the
A/C is turned ON, thereby facilitating the operation
for obtaining maximum cooling performance.
ESTIMATION CONTROL FOR
COMPRESSOR TORQUE
Communication between the engine⋅CVT-ECU and
A/C-ECU is made to control the engine according to
the compressor torque for higher drivability and
reduction in fuel consumption.
FORCIBLE DEFROSTER CONTROL
When the defroster vents are selected, the A/C is
automatically turned ON. At this time, the out
-
side/inside air selection damper is operated to the
fresh-air position to defrost the windshield glass
quickly.
