i-Dual Zone Climate Control System
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2014 Honda Ridgeline, 2013 Honda Ridgeline, 2012 Honda Ridgeline, 2011 Honda Ridgeline, and 2010 Honda Ridgeline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This system automatically controls the temperature and the vent mode for the driver and passenger's sides depending on the angle of the sun and the direction of the vehicle. The system receives information such as date, time, longitude, and latitude from the navigation system, and it determines the radiant strength of the sun from the sunlight sensor.
In the event that the navigation system malfunctions, or when driving in areas where the navigation cannot determine the vehicle position (non-coverage areas, tunnels, etc.), the climate control system will operate the same as one in a vehicle without navigation.
