Oil Specification
1.
The R-134a or R-1234yf system requires synthetic (PAG) compressor oil
whereas the R-12 system requires mineral compressor oil.
Description and operation
Description
The compressor is the power unit of the A/C system.
It is located on the side of engine block and driven by a V-belt of the engine.
Other information:
Description and operation
Description
The photo sensor is located at the center of the defrost nozzles.
The photo sensor contains a photovoltaic (sensitive to sunlight) diode. The
solar radiation received by its light receiving portion, generates an electromotive
force in proportion to the amount of radiation received wh
Description
The smart cruise control system allows a driver to program the vehicle to control
the speed and following distance by detecting the vehicle ahead without depressing
the brake pedal or the accelerator pedal.
