Heater And Cooling Unit: Notes

2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5i, 4D Sedan, AutomaticSECTION Notes
  • Having an evaporator core at the front and a heater core at the rear, this single unit combines both heating and cooling functions.
  • The heater and cooling unit incorporates mode doors for creating different air flow modes and an air mix door for mixing heated air and outside air.
  • On models with automatic air conditioning, the inside of the heater and cooling unit is separated into left and right parts so that the driver and passenger can individually control the temperature.
  • In models with an automatic air conditioning, the mode doors and air mixing door are moved by electric-motor-driven actuators.

In models with a manual air conditioning system, the air mix door is moved by a linkage cable.
