RELIABLE VISUAL FIELD (IMPROVEMENT IN SAFETY)

Wind velocity type defroster nozzle has been adopted to improve defogging performance (Shortens windshield defogging time).
Defroster vents with guide fins have been adopted to secure better defogging pattern.

IMPROVEMENTS IN FUEL ECONOMY

Wider condenser area reduces load to the A/C and improves fuel consumption.
Compact, lightweight heater unit and cooling unit have been adopted.
Reduced numbers of wirings and lighter vehicle weight from installation of CAN communication system

GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

Adoption of HFC134a for refrigerant.
