Dual-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC)
The HVAC module analyzes input from the following major sources:
- Temperature, airflow direction and blower selection (made by the vehicle occupants)
- In-vehicle temperature
- Ambient temperature
- Sunload
- Vehicle speed
- Engine coolant temperature
Using these inputs, the HVAC module determines the correct conditions for the following outputs:
- A/C compressor operation
- Blower speed
- LH side temperature blend door position
- RH side temperature blend door position
- Air inlet mode door position
- Defrost mode door position
- Panel mode door position
- Floor mode door position
