Control |
Outline |
---|---|
Blower Control |
When the air conditioning system is in AUTO mode, the blower speed will be reduced to a certain speed. Additionally, if warm-up control is operating, the blower speed will be further reduced. |
Air Inlet Control |
If the ambient temperature is a certain value or more, the air inlet mode will be changed to recirculation mode. |
Result | Proceed to |
