  • Publication number: 20170113517
    Abstract: An automatic dust removal device for a vehicle is provided. The device constantly senses dust in the interior of the vehicle and automatically removes the detected dust. The device includes a dust sensor that senses dust concentration in the interior of the vehicle and a controller that operates an air-conditioning device. The controller determines whether dust in the interior of the vehicle requires removal based on a signal from the dust sensor. An air-conditioning device for removing dust from the air is operated to activate a dust removal mode based on a signal from the controller. Thus, an intake door is closed to block inflow of external air into the interior of the vehicle and the air in the interior of the vehicle passes through an air filter and is circulated by a blower.
