AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
Stop Signal:
At the end of each transmission, a stop operation, in-operation, or internal malfunction message is delivered to
the unified meter and A/C amp. This completes one data transmission and control cycle.
AIR MIX DOOR CONTROL (AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL)
The air mix door is automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.
FAN SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tempera-
ture, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
With FAN control dial set to AUTO, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume.
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower motor operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake doors are automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunload and ON/OFF operation of the compressor.
MODE DOOR CONTROL
The mode door is automatically controlled by the temperature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temper-
ature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
