Initial fan speed control for cooling/heating

▶

Cooling start control
When the intake temperature sensor indicates over 35°C, the driver might feel uncomfortable 

by the air flow from the vent. Therefore, at the initial operation stage, the hot air is discharged to the 

windshield (DEF mode) for about 5 seconds.

-

Heating start control 

When the engine coolant temperature is low or the wind temperature is not warmed up sufficiently, 

the driver might feel uncomfortable by the air flow from the vent. Therefore, the fan speed is set to the 

1st stage and the cool air is sent to the windshield until the coolant temperature increases to the 

proper level (DEF mode). As the engine coolant temperature goes up, the mode is changed to 

Defrost & Foot mode or AUTO mode to increase the speed of blower motor. This control is cancelled 
when the output value of the water temperature sensor is approximately 62℃. However, the 

control time must not exceed 10 minutes.

The air source selection is controlled in accordance with the vehicle speed while driving. Operating 

conditions and control process are as follows:

AUTO mode

When the vehicle speed is 45 km/h or lower in fresh air mode, the air source door is open 30% of its 

maximum opening. If the vehicle speed is 65 km/h or more, then

the air source door is completely open.
