AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM : ECO Mode Control


DESCRIPTION

- When ECO mode is selected with the electric shift selector, VCM transmits the ECO mode request signal to the A/C auto amp.
- When the A/C auto amp. receives the ECO mode request signal, it performs control that reduces the power consumption of the A/C system.






ECO MODE CONTROL

- When ECO mode is selected, warm-up/cool-down control (refer to "AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM : Electric Power Distribution Control" Electric Power Distribution Control) is cancelled and the special ECO mode power distribution control is performed.
- The A/C auto amp. determines the A/C system power consumption based on the ambient temperature and set temperature.

When ECO mode control is activated, there is a noticeable decrease in A/C capacity when temperatures are hot or cold.
