Component parts		Description
Blower unit	Aroma cartridge	Aroma cartridge generates 2 kinds of aromas, leaf scent and fragrant wood, which have proven relaxing effects.
	Aroma motor	Refer to BLOWER UNIT: AROMA MOTOR .
	Blower motor	Refer to BLOWER UNIT: BLOWER MOTOR .
	Intake door motor	Refer to BLOWER UNIT: INTAKE DOOR MOTOR .
	Power transistor	Refer to BLOWER UNIT: POWER TRANSISTOR .
Compressor	Magnet clutch	Magnet clutch is the device that drives the compressor with the signal from IPDM E/R. Compressor is driven by the magnet clutch which is magnetized by electric power supply.
Heater & cooling unit assembly	Mode door motor (Driver side)	Refer to HEATER & COOLING UNIT ASSEMBLY: AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR (DRIVER SIDE) .
	Mode door motor (Passenger side)	Refer to HEATER & COOLING UNIT ASSEMBLY: AIR MIX DOOR MOTOR (PASSENGER SIDE) .
	Upper ventilator door motor	Refer to HEATER & COOLING UNIT ASSEMBLY: UPPER VENTILATOR DOOR MOTOR .
AV control unit		AV control unit transmits A/C switch operation signal to A/C auto amp. via CAN communication line.
A/C auto amp.		A/C auto amp. controls Forest Air system by inputting and calculating signals from each sensor and each switch. A/C auto amp. has self-diagnosis function. Diagnosis of Forest Air system can be performed quickly.
BCM		BCM transmits key ID signal to A/C auto amp. via CAN communication line.
Display		Display indicates operation status of Forest Air system. Display has touch panel function that can be used to control Forest Air system.
ECM		ECM controls compressor according to status of engine and refrigerant.
Exhaust gas/outside odor detecting sensor		Exhaust gas/outside odor detecting sensor measures unpleasant odor outside of passenger room. In addition to previous exhaust gas detection function, unpleasant odor in ambient atmosphere is measured.
Humidity sensor		Humidity sensor measures windshield temperature and passenger room humidity so that fogging on windshield is judged.
Inside odor detecting sensor		Inside odor detecting sensor measures odor of cigarettes, foods, and other objects in passenger room.
Ionizer		Ionizer generates an approximately equal proportional amount of positive and negative ions in the air.
IPDM E/R		A/C relay is integrated in IPDM E/R. IPDM E/R operates A/C relay when A/C compressor request signal is received from ECM via CAN communication line.
Multifunction switch (FOREST switch)		FOREST switch is located in multifunction switch. Forest Air system can be operated when FOREST switch is pressed.
