Power and Associates Initial Quality Study SM

28. 28 Dual Zone. Many customers have never had the ability to set a different temperature for the driver and passenger. Continuous illumination of the A/C button in “Auto” mode. Customers may be confused because the light remains on regardless of temperature setting (i.e., even when set at 80°). RAV4 1 2 Micro dust/pollen filter.

33. 33 HVAC “Word Tracks”  Say You’re going to enjoy the auto climate control on your vehicle; you just set the temperature you want and it automatically adjusts to achieve that temperature. The AC light comes on whether you’re heating or cooling your car. This is normal; it helps remove moisture from the air and helps prevent your windows from fogging. When you adjust the temperature to the coldest setting you will see the “recirculation” button illuminate. That’s how it is supposed to work, because the system is being efficient and closing off the hot air from outside. In addition, it helps remove moisture from the inside air.

34. 34 HVAC “Word Tracks”  Say, cont. Another thing you may not be familiar with is the “Micro Dust/Pollen Filter” feature.

44. 44 Quick Reference Guide

45. 45 Call to Action  Why is this initiative important? Key competitors are improving and closing the quality gap with Toyota. Research shows that this can be attributed, in part to an inadequate explanation of features/controls. 38% of Toyota buyers previously owned or currently own a domestic vehicle. Conquest customers are unfamiliar with Toyotas and reporting more problems than loyal customers. Unfamiliarity leads to perceived quality issues.  What’s In It For Me? Decrease perceived quality issues. Satisfied customers. More sales leads and repeat/referral customers.

46. 46 Call to Action  How can I help? Review the three top issues during vehicle delivery: Cruise Control, Wiper & Washer Controls and HVAC. Conduct a thorough vehicle delivery: –Make sure customers are familiar with their vehicles and how key features function. –Demonstrate key features and let the customer “try it” during vehicle delivery. –Confirm that they understand.  When? Start now! Continue throughout the year.
