Ion control
This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster ionTMinto the air blown from
the ventilators and reduces odor absorbed
into the interior trim.
The high-density Plasmacluster ions gen-
erated in the air conditioner ’s air stream
not only suppress airborne bacteria and
reduce the adherence of odors to the
interior trim, but also have a proven skin
moisture preserving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster ion
TM
automatically. The amount of Plasmacluster ion
TMin-
creases according to the amount of air
flow. When the air flow is high, “
”is
displayed on the screen and when the air
flow is low, the indication in the screen
changes to “

OPERATING TIPS
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air
flow from the foot outlets may not operate.
This is not a malfunction. After the coolant
temperature warms up, air will flow nor-
mally from the foot outlets.
