Active Electrical Module Cooling

[Sandalwood]

Since my Emira has not yet arrived after 974 days since my deposit, I have been consoling myself by reading the owner's manual. There were some interesting items, such as having a solar sensor to help provide extra cooling to the side of the car where the sun is entering (common on nice cars, but still a nice touch). However, there is a passage I have never seen in any vehicle manual before, and that I did not find in this forum by searching:

Active Electrical Module Cooling
When required, cooling air from the
climate system is diverted to some
of the electrical modules positioned
behind the dashboard area to ensure
optimal performance.
If activated, the climate fan and air
conditioning functions may automat-
ically activate or adjust their current
settings.

That's a new one on me.

Yeah, that's interesting. I wonder how many other vehicles do this. I know the center accent strip above the driver's gauge display (the metal one with tiny holes) is apparently for heat extraction and not just a fancy design.

Many cars in the last 4-5 years do this and I'd guess nearly all vehicles with any self-driving features do as well. My "old" 2018 Model 3 performance beater/commuter has a large volume of air diverted to the FSD computer behind the glovebox. It's a reasonably powerful computer (handles over 2300 frames per second) that I ironically almost never use because it sucks and I'm a driving enthusiast anyways haha.
