ATC-28
< SERVICE INFORMATION >
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
 When pressing AUTO switch, air inlet, air outlet, fan speed, and discharge air temperature are automatically
controlled.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL SWITCH (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (DRIVER SIDE)
The set temperature is increased or decreased with this switch.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL SWITCH (POTENTIO TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (PASSENGER
SIDE)
 The set temperature is increased or decreased with this switch.
 When the temperature switch is pressed, the DUA L switch indicator will automatically illuminate.
INTAKE SWITCH
 When intake switch is ON, REC LED turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to REC.
 When press intake switch again, FRE LED turns ON, and air inlet is fixed to FRE.
 When intake switch is pressed for approximately 1. 5 seconds or longer, FRE and REC LEDs blink twice.
Then, automatic control mode is entered. Inlet status is displayed by LED even during automatic controlled.
 When FRE LED is turned ON, shifting mode position to D/ F or DEF, or when compressor is turned from ON
to OFF, intake switch is automatically turned OFF (fixed to FRE mode). REC mode can be re-entered by
pressing intake switch again, and then compressor is turned ON. (Except D/F or DEF position)
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 door s and the mode doors are automatically controlled.
A/C SWITCH
Compressor is ON or OFF with this switch.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the A/C switch is ON will turn OFF the A/C switch and compressor.)
MODE SWITCH
The air discharge outlets is controlled with this switch.
FAN SWITCH
The blower speed is manually controlled with this swit ch. Seven speeds are available for manual control (as
shown on the display screen).
DUAL SWITCH
 When the DUAL switch indicator is illuminated, the driver side and passenger side temperature can each be set independently.
 When the DUAL switch indicator is not illuminated, t he driver side setting temperature is applied to both
sides.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Unified Meter and A/C Amp. (Automatic Amplifier)
The unified meter and A/C amp. has a built-in microcomputer which
processes information sent from various sensors needed for air con-
ditioner operation. The air mix door motor, mode door motor, intake
door motor, blower motor and compressor are then controlled.
When the various switches and temperature control switch are oper-
ated, data is input to the unified meter and A/C amp. from the display
control unit using CAN communication.
Self-diagnosis functions are also built into unified meter and A/C
amp. to provide quick check of malfunctions in the auto air condi-
tioner system.
