FEATURES
.
ENHANCEMENTS IN COMFORT
•With the adoption of fully-automatic A/C, the out-
side/inside air circulation switching, air outlet, and
outlet air temperature are automatically con
-
trolled according to the ambient temperature,
solar radiation, and passenger compartment tem
-
perature so that the optimum air conditioner is
achieved.
•By the adoption of clean air filter, the air quality
inside the passenger compartment has been
enhanced.
.
ENHANCEMENTS IN OPERATION
PERFORMANCE

of large triple dial.
•Customise function has been added for the
enhanced convenience.
.

•The high efficiency compressor with a 2-step pro-
file oil separator has been installed, thus enhanc-
ing the fuel economy.
•The idle-up speed is controlled in two steps to
secure the air cooling performance during sum
-
mer and to enhance the fuel economy in the sea-
sons with moderate temperature.

CONTROL
.
FORCED DEF CONTROL
When air outlet position is switched to DEF, A/C is
automatically turned ON, and outside/inside air
selection damper is set to the fresh air position to
quickly defrost the windshield screen.
.
MAX A/C CONTROL
When the temperature adjustment knob is turned to
the maximum A/C position with the blower knob at
position other than OFF, the following controls are
made by the A/C-ECU.
NOTE: "*" Manual operation is disabled during max
A/C control.
.
MAX COOL, MAX HOT CONTROL

When the set temperature is at 18.0 °C <61°F>
(MAX COOL) or at 32.0
°C <89°F> (MAX HOT) with
the air outlet and air volume at the AUTO positions,
the following controls are made automatically by the
A/C-ECU.
NOTE: "*" indicates that when the automatic control
is not cancelled using the customise function, the
manual operation is disabled.
.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER TIMER
CONTROL
In order to prevent battery consumption, the defog-
ger is automatically turned OFF, 20 minutes after it is
turned ON.
.
IDLE-UP CONTROL
A/C-ECU and the engine ECU communicate with
each other through the CAN communication. The
idle-up speed of the engine is controlled in two steps
depending on the A/C load to secure the air cooling
performance during summer and to enhance fuel
economy in seasons with moderate temperature.
.
DETECTION CONTROL FOR
REFRIGERANT LEAKS
A/C-ECU determines if the refrigerant amount is less
than specified or refrigerant pressure is abnormal by
using the ambient temperature (ambient temperature
sensor to measure refrigerant inflation rate) and
refrigerant pressure (measured by the A/C pressure
sensor). When refrigerant amount or refrigerant pres
-
sure is judged abnormal, the compressor is cut-off to
protect the A/C system.
NOTE: When abnormality occurs, the A/C indicator
flashes.
.
PROTECTION CONTROL AT AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT (DURING COLLISION)
When the air bag deployment is detected, the A/C
system is stopped.
.
CUSTOMISE FUNCTION
Depending on the user's preference, the following
functions can be selected. The programmed informa
-
tion is held even when the battery is disconnected.

A/C COMPRESSOR
HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION55-9
A/C COMPRESSORM2551001100268
HIGH EFFICIENCY COMPRESSOR WITH
INTEGRATED OIL SEPARATOR
High efficiency compressor with integrated oil sepa-
rator has been adopted to enhance fuel economy by
reducing the A/C operating rate.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH WITH THERMAL
FUSE
At the compressor lock, the thermal fuse integrated
in the magnet clutch is blown due to the frictional
heat against the compressor in order to reduce risk
of the drive belt breakage. The thermal fuse, together
with the coil, is coated with resin to enhance resis
-
tance to corrosion.
2-STEP PROFILE COMPRESSOR
The centre area of the scroll in the compressor pro-
vides 2-step profile, and thickness of area "B" shown
in the figure has been increased to enhance
strength. With this feature, thickness of area "A"
shown where lesser load is applied is reduced, thus
compressor performance is enhanced by compress
-
ing refrigerant even in central area, comparing to the
previous model.
CONDENSERM2551001400140
The condenser has been integrated with the radiator (cooling
module) to optimise ventilation and reduce weight.

IGNITION TIMING AND CONTROL FOR CURRENT CARRYING TIME
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-37
2. Spark-advance control and current carrying
time control
.
[During start]
ECM initiates ignition at fixed ignition timing (5° BTDC) syn-
chronized with the crankshaft position sensor signal.
.
[During normal operation]
After determining the basic spark-advance based on the intake
air volume and engine speed, ECM makes compensations
based on input from various sensors to control the optimum
spark-advance and current carrying time.
List of main compensations for spark-advance control and current carrying time control
.
[Control for checking ignition timing]
During basic ignition timing set mode for M.U.T.-III actuator test
function, sparking is done with fixed ignition timing (5
° BTDC)
synchronized with crankshaft position sensor signal.
CompensationsContent
Intake air temperature compensationCompensation is made according to intake air
temperature. The higher the intake air temperature
the greater the delay in ignition timing.
Engine coolant temperature compensationCompensation is made according to engine coolant
temperature. The lower the engine coolant
temperature the greater the advance in ignition
timing.
Knocking compensationCompensation is made according to generation of
knocking. The greater the knocking the greater the
delay in ignition timing.
Stable idle compensationCompensation is made according to change in idle
speed. In case engine speed becomes lower than
target speed, ignition timing is advanced.
Delay compensation when changing shiftDuring change of shift, sparking is delayed
compared to normal ignition timing to reduce
engine output torque and absorb the shock of the
shift change.
Battery voltage compensationCompensation is made depending on battery
voltage. The lower the battery voltage the greater
the current carrying time and when battery voltage
is high current carrying time is shortened.
