Thedriver defines the comfort temperature, i.e.whether too warm or too cold.– Based on the evaluation, the driver decideswhether• the temperature needs to be adjusted• in what direction• by how muchand makes this adjustment manually.The driver is, in the figurative sense, both thecontroller and the actuator.The driver adjusts the temperature flap.42
