HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM
(HVAC)
HVAC system provided in the vehicle enables occupants to automatically/manually
adjust air flow distribution pattern, air flow rate, air intake mode and air temperature
inside passenger compartment. By appropriately adjusting the control knobs/
switches provided on the HVAC control panel, located on centre console, occupant’s
comfort can be ensured. HVAC system also helps in defrosting and defogging/ demisting
the windshield and windows.
Airflow direction can be further controlled by adjusting louvers of air vents. An air filter is provided at the inlet of HVAC blower.
Engine coolant is utilized to heat the cabin air. For cooling the cabin air, an air
conditioning circuit based on the vapor compression refrigeration cycle is used. The
air conditioning system uses a refrigerant along with a suitable lubricating oil.
Although being non-ozone depleting, the refrigerant is a greenhouse gas, hence once
allowed to escape in the atmosphere, it adversely affects the environment by
contributing to global warming/climate change.
HVAC Overview
Centre/Side Vents
Two centre vents are located on either side of the infotainment screen in the centre
console. The two side vents are located one each at the left and right extreme ends
of the instrument panel. Both the center and side vents provide air flow to the front
seat passengers. Rotate the thumb wheel (B) left to close or right to open the air vent. Direct air to the
desired direction by the adjusting louvers (A) up/down or left/right.
Defrost Vents - Side/Windshield
There are four defrost vents in your vehicle; two side defrost and two windshield
defrost vents. They are located just below the windshield. The side defrost vents
prevent the front windows from de-misting, whereas the windshield A Adjustable
Louvers B Thumb Wheel defrost vents help in clearing the mist from windshield
Second/Third Row Roof Vents
Two (LH & RH) vents for the second row are provided on the B-Pillars. The vents
have adjustable louvers to direct the air flow and thumb wheels for vents open/close
operations.
The third row vents (LH & RH) are located on side trims on either side of the third
row seats.
Climate Control
There are two types of climate control depending on the variant ;
Automatic Climate Control and Manual Control.
Temperature Control
By operating the temperature control knob, temperature of air being discharged
from various vents can be adjusted to the desired level. Engine coolant is utilized to
heat whereas the air conditioner is used to cool the air inside the AC unit. Based
upon selected position of the temperature control dial, the desired discharged air
temperature can be obtained.
By rotating the dial counter-clockwise and setting it to the extreme left position, cool
air is discharged.
When the dial is rotated clockwise, the discharge air progressively starts getting
warmer.
By rotating the dial further in the clockwise direction and setting it to the extreme
right position, hot air is discharged.
Blower Speed Control
The controls differ depending on the variant (Automatic or Manual Climate Control).
Economy Button (ECon)
ECON switch turns ON economy mode. During ECON AC operation the system
automatically cuts OFF at a higher temperature than normal AC. The operation can
be used during mild weather conditions for better fuel efficiency. Comfort level may
be compromised during this operation.
LED on the button indicates the status of the button. Press the ECON switch again to
turn OFF economy mode.
Air-conditioner ON (AC ON)
This button turns the air-conditioner ON or OFF. Adjust the temperature control dial
as per the temperature requirement. LED on the button indicates the status. Push
the button to turn ON/OFF the AC.
When the air conditioner is functioning, air gets cooled and de-humidified before
being circulated inside the cabin. In hot weather conditions, it will take a slightly
longer time to cool the interior as compared to cooler weather. Fuel consumption
will be relatively higher if the vehicle is being driven with the air conditioner ON.
Rear AC
The rear AC provides cooling for the third row AC vents. Adjust the temperature
control dial as per the temperature requirement. LED on the button indicates the
status.
Manual control
To set the HVAC system to fresh air mode, press the re-circulation mode button
again. The LED on this button switches OFF, indicating that re-circulation mode is
active.
Air Distribution Mode
Air distribution mode button allows you to select the below air flow patterns;
• Face Mode
• Face and Floor Mode
• Floor Mode
• Floor Defrost Mode
• Defrost Mode
Depending on the variant, the operation of air distribution mode changes.
For Manual Climate Control
Press the required mode button on the switch bank.
