AQS (AIR QUALITY SYSTEM)
AQS SYSTEM?
AQS automatically adjusts from the fresh air intake mode to
the recirculation mode when polluted air is detected by the
AQS sensor. The air source selection returns back to the
fresh air intake mode if a certain time passes or the polluted
air has disappeared.
AQS Switch
AQS indicator
When the Air Quality System (AQS) switch is pressed, the AQS system
is activated and its indicator light comes on. When the switch is
pressed again, the light turns off and the AQS system is inactivated.
When the AQS is activated and harmful gases are detected by its sensor,
the system automatically selects internal air recirculation mode and the
recirculation indicator comes on. When the harmful gases disappear, out-
side air is allowed to come in and the fresh air intake indicator comes on.
AQS Sensor
The AQS system can be adjusted according to the vehicle’s driving conditions.
Also, after initially operating for 5 seconds, the system checks the outside air
quality and chooses either the fresh air intake mode or the recirculation mode.
NOTE
• If the outside air contains harmful gases, this sys-
tem prevents the contaminated air from creeping
into the inside. By doing so, the system can form
fog on the windshield and other inside windows.
• To defog, refer to the “Defog/Defroster” section.
