the air flow against the driver’s or passen-

Advanced Climate Control System
(if so equipped)
The Advanced Climate Control System
keeps the air inside of the vehicle clean,
using the ion control and the automatic air
intake control with exhaust gas detecting
sensor.
JVH1780X
Ion control:
This unit generates highly concentrated
Plasmacluster
®ions into 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 pre-
serving effect.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the
system generates Plasmacluster
®ions auto-
matically.
The amount of Plasmacluster
®ions in-
creases according to the amount of air flow.
