SYSTEM
 A/C auto amp. controls passenger r
oom temperature so that the optimum level always matches the temper-
ature level that passenger may feel. Correction is applied to the target temperature that is set using temper-
ature control dial, according to ambient temperature detected by ambient sensor.
Rear in-vehicle sensor [in-vehicle temperature (rear side) correction]
 Passenger room temperature (rear side) detected by r ear in-vehicle sensor is corrected for each rear auto-
matic air conditioning control.
Intake sensor (intake temperature correction)
 A/C auto amp. performs correction to change recogniti on intake temperature of A/C auto amp. quickly when
difference is large between recognition intake temperat ure and intake temperature detected by intake tem-
perature sensor. The correction is performed to change recognition intake temperature slowly when differ-
ence is small.
Sunload sensor (sunload amount correction) Sunload amount detected by sunload sensor is correct ed for each rear automatic air conditioning control.
 A/C auto amp. performs correction to change recogni tion sunload amount of A/C auto amp. slowly when
sunload amount changes quickly, for exampl e when entering or exiting a tunnel.
 Front control
Operation by front controller
- Front A/C control (preset switch) transmits the co mmands for rear automatic air conditioning system opera-
tion to AV control unit via communication line, then AV control unit transmits the commands to A/C auto amp.
via CAN communication. A/C auto amp. transmits each indication information to AV control unit via CAN
communication. AV control unit displays each indication information that is received.
Operation by rear controller- Rear A/C control transmits the commands for rear automatic air conditioning system operation to A/C auto
amp. via communication line.
REAR AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONIN G SYSTEM : Air Flow ControlINFOID:0000000006275871
DESCRIPTION
 A/C auto amp. changes duty ratio of blower motor dr ive signal and controls air flow continuously. When air
flow is increased, duty ratio of rear blower moto r control signal gradually increases to prevent a sudden
increase in air flow.
 In addition to manual control and automatic control, air flow control is compose of starting fan speed control,
low coolant temperature starting control, high in-vehi cle temperature starting control and fan speed control at
door motor operation
AUTOMATIC AIR FLOW CONTROL
 A/C auto amp. decides target air flow depending on target rear air mix door opening angle.
 A/C auto amp. changes duty ratio of rear blower moto r control signal and controls the air flow continuously
so that air flow matches to target air flow.
 When air outlet is VENT or B/L, the minimum air flow is changed depending on sunload.

 When rear blower motor is activated, A/C auto amp. gradually increases duty ratio of rear blower motor control signal to prevent a
sudden increase in discharge air flow.
 It takes approximately 8 seconds for air flow to reach HI from LOW.
LOW COOLANT TEMPERATURE STARTING CONTROL
If the engine coolant temperature is 56 °C (133 °F) or less, to prevent
a cold discharged air flow, A/C auto amp. suspends rear blower
motor activation for the maximum 150 seconds depending on target
rear air mix door opening angle. After this, rear blower motor control
signal is increased gradually, and rear blower motor is activated.
HIGH IN-VEHICLE TEMPERATURE STARTING CONTROL
When front evaporator fin temperature is high [intake sensor value is 35°C (95 °F) or more], to prevent a hot
discharged air flow, A/C auto amp. suspends rear blower motor activation for approximately 3 seconds so that
rear evaporator is cooled by refrigerant.
FAN SPEED CONTROL AT DOOR MOTOR OPERATION
When rear mode door motor is activated while air flow is more than the specified value, A/C auto amp.
reduces temporarily fan speed wo t hat rear mode door moves smoothly.
REAR AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM : Air Outlet ControlINFOID:0000000006275872
 While air outlet is in automatic control, A/C auto amp. selects the
rear mode door position depending on a target rear air mix door
angle and outlet air temperature calculated from sunload.

ACCS (ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM) : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006275876
 ACCS (advanced climate control system) controls pass enger room air. It maintains the cleanliness of the
passenger room air using an in-cabin microfilter and a combination of each of the following functions.
- HAC-28, "
ACCS (ADVANCED CLIMATE CONT ROL SYSTEM) : Automatic Intake Control (Exhaust Gas /
Outside Odor Detecting Mechanism)"
-HAC-29, "ACCS (ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM) : Plasmacluster Control"
NOTE:
 Plasmacluster
™ ion technology developed by Sharp Corporation is installed in this item.
 Plasmacluster
™ is a trademark of Sharp Corporation.
 Various operations of ACCS (advanced climate contro l system) are transmitted from preset switch to AV
control unit via communication line and from AV contro l unit to A/C auto amp. via CAN communication. A/C
auto amp. sends each indication information to AV c ontrol unit via CAN communication. AV control unit dis-
plays each indication information that is received.
ACCS (ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTE M) : Automatic Intake Control (Ex-
haust Gas / Outside Odor Detecting Mechanism)
INFOID:0000000006275877
DESCRIPTION
In addition to air inlet automatic control of front automatic air conditioning system, A/C auto amp. controls
automatically air inlet according to signal from ex haust gas / outside odor detecting sensor, so that unpleasant
outside odor does not enter in passenger room.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
 When pressing auto intake switch while front blower motor is operated and DEF switch is OFF, auto intake switch indicator lamp and intake switch indicator lamp turn ON. Air inlet is fixed to recirculation for approxi-
mately 5 minutes, and then is switched to automatic intake control (exhaust gas / outside odor detecting
mechanism).
 Air inlet switches to recirculation when exhaust gas or outside odor is detected while automatic intake control
(exhaust gas / outside odor detecting mechanism) is operated. After that, air inlet switches to fresh air intake
when exhaust gas or outside odor becomes not detectable.
