DISPLAY SCREEN
Displays the operational status of the system.
AUTO SWITCH

The compressor, intake door, air mix doors, outlet doors and blower speed are automatically controlled so
that the in-vehicle temperature will reach, and be maintained at the set temperature selected by the oper-
ator.
TEMPERATURE DIAL (DRIVER)
Increases or decreases the driver zone temperature.
TEMPERATURE DIAL (PASSENGER)
Increases or decreases the passenger zone temperature.
RECIRCULATION SWITCH ()

When pressed an indicator turns ON in the display, and air inlet is set to recirculation mode.

Recirculation mode is cancelled by pressing the switch again, turning ON the front defroster, pressing the
OFF switch, or pressing the A/C switch to turn off the A/C system and compressor.
DEFROSTER () SWITCH
Positions the air outlet doors to the defrost position. Also positions the intake door to the outside air position.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When switch is ON, rear window is defogged.
OFF SWITCH (HOLD FAN DOWN SWITCH UNTIL SYSTEM SHUTS OFF)
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake door is set to the outside air position, and the air outlet doors
are set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.
A/C SWITCH
The compressor is ON or OFF.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the AUTO switch is ON will turn off the A/C switch and compressor.)
MODE SWITCH
Controls the air discharge outlets.
FRONT FAN SWITCH
Manually controls the blower speed. Seven speeds are available for manual control (as shown on the display
screen).
REAR FAN SWITCH (FRONT)
Manually controls the rear blower speed. Four speeds are available for manual control. When the rear fan
switch (front) is in the off (0) position, the rear blower motor cannot operate. Position (R) allows control of rear
blower speed and rear temperature/mode operation to be transferred to rear air control.
REAR TEMPERATURE/MODE DIAL (FRONT)
Increases or decreases the rear zone temperature and adjusts the mode simultaneously. FLOOR is full hot
setting, FLOOR/PANEL is warm setting, and PANEL is full cold setting.

Rear Air Control
REAR TEMPERATURE/MODE DIAL (REAR)
Increases or decreases the rear zone temperature and adjusts the mode simultaneously. FLOOR is full hot
setting, FLOOR/PANEL is warm setting, and PANEL is full cold setting. Operates only with rear fan switch
(front) is in the (R) position.
REAR FAN CONTROL SWITCH (REAR)
When the rear fan switch (front) is in the (R) position, it allows the rear fan switch (rear) to control the blower
motor speed. In any other position (1-4), the rear fan switch (front) controls the rear blower motor speed
regardless of the rear fan switch (rear) position.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
CHECKING TEMPERATURE INCREASE
1. Rotate temperature dial clockwise (driver or passenger) until
32°C (90°F) is displayed.
2. Check for hot air at appropriate discharge air outlets.
If NG, listen for sound of air mix door motor operation. If OK, go to
trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-117, "
Insufficient Heating" . If
air mix door motor appears to be malfunctioning, go to ATC-69,
"DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR
(DRIVER)" or AT C - 7 1 , "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE FOR AIR MIX
DOOR MOTOR (PASSENGER)" .
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECK A/C SWITCH
1. Press A/C switch.
2. A/C switch indicator will turn ON.

Confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or visual
inspection).
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-104, "
Magnet
Clutch Circuit" .
If OK, continue with next check.
CHECKING AUTO MODE
1. Press AUTO switch.
2. Display should indicate AUTO.

If ambient temperature is warm, and selected temperature is
cool, confirm that the compressor clutch engages (sound or
visual inspection). (Discharge air and blower speed will
depend on ambient, in-vehicle, and set temperatures.)
If NG, go to trouble diagnosis procedure for ATC-60, "
Power Supply
and Ground Circuit for Front Air Control" , then if necessary, trouble
diagnosis procedure for ATC-104, "
Magnet Clutch Circuit" .
If all operational checks are OK (symptom cannot be duplicated), go
to malfunction Simulation Tests in AT C - 3 5 , "
How to Perform Trouble
Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair" and perform tests as out-
lined to simulate driving conditions environment. If symptom appears. Refer to ATC-35, "
How to Perform Trou-
ble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate Repair" , AT C - 3 5 , "SYMPTOM TABLE" and perform applicable trouble
diagnosis procedures.
