 Sensitivity of exhaust gas / out side odor detecting sensor can be changed by “GAS SENSOR ADJUST-
MENT” in “WORK SUPPORT” mode of CONSULT-III. Refer to HAC-70, "
ACCS (ADVANCED CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM) : Exhaust Gas / Outside Odor Detecting Sensor Sensitivity Adjustment Function".
 Automatic intake control (exhaust gas / outside odor detecting mechanism) does not operate when ambient
temperature is −2 °C (28 °F) or less. In this case, control is only for control of automatic air inlet of automatic
air conditioning system.
ACCS (ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM) : Plasmacluster Control
INFOID:0000000006275878
DESCRIPTION
Plasmacluster™ control eliminates microbes and reduces odor on interior surface by including high density
Plasmacluster
™ ion in air conditioning outlet air flow.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
 Plasmacluster™ control operates by interlocking to blower motor. Plasmacluster™ control operates when
blower motor operates.
 Control status is displayed on front air conditioning system display screen. Refer to HAC-37, "
ACCS
(ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM) : Switch Name and Function".
NOTE:
 Plasmacluster
™ ion technology developed by Sharp Corporation is installed in this item.
 Plasmacluster
™ is a trademark of Sharp Corporation.

the display changes to state indication display of fr ont air conditioning system. When front air conditioning
system is operated while navigation system or audio system is displayed, front air conditioning system state
is indicated in the lower portion of display for several seconds.
 When MODE switch is pressed while front air conditioni ng system is in the OFF position, state indication dis-
play is indicated for several seconds.

Intake switch Air inlet changes between recirculation (REC)
⇔ fresh air intake (FRE) each time this switch is
pressed.
 Intake switch indicator ON: Recirculation

NOTE:
 When front air conditioning system is in the OFF position, air inlet can be selected.
 When MODE switch and DEF switch is in the D/F or DEF position, air inlet cannot be selected to recirculation (REC).
Temperature control dial
(driver side)  Selects set temperature within a range between 18.0
°C (60 °F) – 32.0 °C (90 °F) at a rate of 0.5 °C
(1.0 °F) each time the dial is rotated.
- Clockwise rotation: Set temperature increases.
- Counterclockwise rotation: Set temperature decreases.
NOTE:
When front air conditioning system is in the OFF position, set temperature can be selected only while
front air conditioning system state (when MODE switch is pressed) is indicated on the display.
Temperature control dial
(passenger side)  Selects set temperature within a range between 18.0
°C (60 °F) – 32.0 °C (90 °F) at a rate of 0.5 °C
(1.0 °F) each time the dial is rotated.
- Clockwise rotation: Set temperature increases.
- Counterclockwise rotation: Set temperature decreases.
 When the temperature control dial is turned, DUAL switch indicator turns ON.
NOTE:
When front air conditioning system is in the OFF position, set temperature can be selected only while
front air conditioning system state (when MODE switch is pressed) is indicated on the display.
Upper ventilator switch Turns the upper ventilator control (switch indicator) between ON
⇔ OFF each time while front blower
fan is activated.
NOTE:
 When front air conditioning system is in the OFF position and air outlet is DEF position, upper ven- tilator control cannot be activated.
 When front air conditioning system is in the OFF position, upper ventilator control can be selected
only while front air conditioning system state (when MODE switch is pressed) is indicated on the

OPERATION
DUAL switch Turns left and right ventilation temperature separately control (switch indicator) between ON
⇔
OFF each time.
 When DUAL switch indicator is ON, the driver side and passenger side temperatures can each be set independently.
 When DUAL switch indicator is OFF, the driver side outlet and setting temperature is applied to both
sides.
 Left and right ventilation temperature separately control is cancelled by turning the DEF mode ON.
NOTE:
When front air conditioning system is in the OFF position, left and right ventilation temperature sepa-
rately control can be selected only while front air conditioning system state (when MODE switch is
pressed) is indicated on the display.
Fan switch (UP/DOWN) Blower fan speed is manually controlled with these switches. Seven speeds are available for manual
control (as shown on the display screen)
NOTE:
 When fan switch is pressed while front air conditioning system is in OFF, front air conditioning sys-
tem is activated. (Compressor control state returns to the previous state before front air condition-
ing system OFF.)
 When fan switch is pressed while front air conditioning system is in automatic control (“AUTO” is
indicated), automatic control is released (“AUTO” turns OFF).
FRE switch  Air inlet is selected to fresh air intake (FRE) by pressing this switch.
- FRE indicator: ON
- REC indicator: OFF
 When FRE indicator is ON, pressing the FRE switch for approximately 1.5 seconds or more, and
then the FRE and REC switch indicators blink twice and the system is switched to the automatic
control.
NOTE:
When front air conditioning system is in the OFF position, air inlet can be selected.
MODE switch Selects air outlet sequentially from VENT
⇒ B/L ⇒ FOOT ⇒ D/F ⇒ VENT each time.
NOTE:
 When front air conditioning system is in the OFF position, air outlet can be selected.
 When MODE switch is pressed while front air conditioning system is in automatic control (“AUTO” is indicated), automatic control is released (“AUTO” turns OFF).
OFF switch  Turns front air conditioning system OFF.
 When front air conditioning system turns OFF, air inlet and air outlet become the automatic control.
REC switch  Air inlet is selected to fresh air intake (REC) by pressing this switch.
- REC indicator: ON
- FRE indicator: OFF
 When REC indicator is ON, pressing the REC switch for approximately 1.5 seconds or more, and
then the FRE and REC switch indicators blink twice and the system is switched to the automatic
control.
NOTE:
 When front air conditioning system is in the OFF position, air inlet can be selected.
 When MODE switch and DEF switch is in the D/F or DEF position, air inlet cannot be selected to recirculation (REC).
Temperature control dial
(driver side)  Selects set temperature within a range between 18.0
°C (60 °F) – 32.0 °C (90 °F) at a rate of 0.5 °C
(1.0 °F) each time the dial is rotated.
- Clockwise rotation: Set temperature increases.
- Counterclockwise rotation: Set temperature decreases.
NOTE:
When front air conditioning system is in the OFF position, set temperature can be selected only while
front air conditioning system state (when MODE switch is pressed) is indicated on the display.
