*1 Adjusted up or down in increments of 0.5 with a range of 15.0—32.0 or 1 with a range of 60—90.

*2 Increases to the manual voltage that is closest to the auto or defroster correction voltage.

*3 Decreases to the manual voltage that is closest to the auto or defroster correction voltage.

*4 Returns to condition prior to defroster operation. However, if it had been off prior to defroster operation, it switches to automatic control.

*5 Returns to fan condition before fan off. However, if it had been defroster correction (manual control) returns to condition as follows.

The condition before fan off defroster correction, the fan condition return to the condition before defroster correction.
The condition before fan off defroster correction and furthermore the condition before defroster correction is fan off, the fan condition change to the automatic control. (It has higher priority than 1)
The condition before fan off defroster correction and fan is manually operated during that defroster correction, the fan condition return to the manually operated condition. (It has higher priority than 1 and 2)

Sensor Signal Delay Function

The amount of solar radiation, and the ambient and cabin temperatures may change due to factors such as direct and intermittent sunlight (traveling through a city or a highway tunnel), or radiant heat from the ground under parked vehicles as well as the opening and closing of doors.
If control was performed based exactly on these variations, the air conditioning function would be negatively affected and smooth control could not occur.
In order to prevent this, the climate control unit delays and smoothes the input signals for solar radiation, and the ambient and cabin temperature as shown in the following figure, realizing stable control.
When the engine is restarted after being temporarily stopped, the ambient temperature sensor may detect a temperature higher than the actual ambient temperature.
To prevent this, if the engine coolant temperature exceeds 55 °C {131 °F}
, control of each system is performed based on the ambient temperature data before the engine was stopped, which is stored in the climate control unit.
