The dual zone A/C system is an electrically controlled
heating, ventilating and air conditioning system. This system allows the driver
and passenger the ability to adjust discharge temperature of the system
independently.
The following aspects are controlled by the system:
| • | The compressor clutch operation. |
| • | The discharge temperature. |
The driver may select a desired interior temperature, a fan speed and
one of five different modes of operation from the system control system.
One of these modes is a fully automatic dual zone mode which determines
the following conditions (set by the driver):
| • | The approximate air intake. |
| • | The discharge locations. |
| • | The discharge air temperature. |
The passenger side of the vehicle contains a separate control knob on
the control assembly that can increase or decrease air discharge temperature
for the passenger side of the vehicle.
The following settings are remembered as part of personalization:
| • | Driver set temperature. |
| • | Passenger set temperature. |
| • | Compressor operation (A/C ON/OFF). |
