REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
Refrigerant CycleINFOID:0000000004040375
REFRIGERANT FLOW
The refrigerant flows in the standard pattern, that is, through the compressor, the condenser with liquid tank,
through the front and rear evaporators, and back to the compressor. The refrigerant evaporation through the
evaporator coils are controlled by front and rear externally equalized expansion valves, located inside the front
and rear evaporator cases.
Refrigerant System ProtectionINFOID:0000000004040376
REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR
The refrigerant system is protected against excessively hi gh or low pressures by the refrigerant pressure sen-
sor, located on the condenser. If the system pressure rises above or falls below the specifications, the refriger-
ant pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the refrigerant line and sends a voltage signal to the ECM.
The ECM de-energizes the A/C relay to disengage the magnetic compressor clutch when pressure on the high
pressure side detected by refrigerant pressu re sensor is over about 2,746 kPa (28 kg/cm
2, 398 psi), or below
about 120 kPa (1.22 kg/cm
2, 17.4 psi).
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The refrigerant system is also protected by a pressure relief valve, located in the rear head of the compressor.
When the pressure of refrigerant in the system incr eases to an abnormal level [more than 2,990 kPa (30.5 kg/

A/C auto amp.
DISPLAY SCREEN
Displays the operational status of the system.
AUTO SWITCH
• The compressor, intake door, air mix doors, outlet
doors and blower speed are automatically controlled so
that the in-vehicle temperature will reach, and be mainta ined at the set temperature selected by the operator.
• When pressing AUTO switch, air inlet, air outlet, bl ower speed, and discharge air temperature are automati-
cally controlled.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (DRIVER)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (PASSENGER)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.
RECIRCULATION ( ) SWITCH
• When REC switch is ON, REC switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is set to REC.
• When REC switch is turned OFF, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC switch is automati-
cally turned OFF. REC mode can be re-entered by pressing REC switch again.
• REC switch is not operated when DEF switch is tur ned ON, at the D/F position, or in floor position.
DEFROSTER ( ) SWITCH
Positions the air outlet doors to the defrost position. Al so positions the intake doors to the outside air position,
and turns A/C compressor ON.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When switch is ON, rear window and door mirrors are defogged.
OFF SWITCH
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the outside air position, and the air outlet
doors are set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.
A/C SWITCH
The 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
Controls the air discharge outlets.
FRONT BLOWER CONTROL SWITCHES
Manually control the blower speed.

When the REAR CTRL switch is in the on (indicator on) the rear air control (rear) controls the rear blower
motor speed regardless of the rear air control (front) blow er control dial (front) position. The rear air control
(rear) controls the blower motor speed.
MAGNET CLUTCH CONTROL
When A/C switch or DEF switch is pressed, A/ C auto amp. inputs compressor ON signal to BCM.
BCM sends compressor ON signal to ECM and A/C auto amp., via CAN communication line.
ECM judges whether compressor can be turned ON, based on each sensor status (refrigerant pressure sen-
sor signal, throttle angle sensor, etc.). If it judges compressor can be turned ON, it sends compressor ON sig-
nal to IPDM E/R, via CAN communication line.
