Cluster Ionizer

Description and Operation

Description

The cluster ionizer sterilizes and eliminates unpleasant odors from the air conditioner or ventilation air. It also purifies the air inside the vehicle. When the ignition is ON, the ionizer operates in the "CLEAN" mode and then in the "ION" mode, switching between both modes. In the "CLEAN" mode, the cluster ionizer generates negative ions and positive ions, which help remove odors from the air. In the "ION" mode, the cluster ionizer generates negative ions and purifies the air inside the vehicle.

Repair Procedures
