The passenger's temperature setting can be set to
match the driver's temperature setting by pressing the
PASS button and turning off the PASS indicator. When
the passenger's temperature setting is set different than
the driver's setting, the indicator on the PASS button
illuminates and both the driver side and passenger side
temperature displays are shown.

When in defrost mode the passenger temperature
setting cannot be changed.

Automatic Operation

AUTO (Automatic) : When automatic operation is
active the system controls the inside temperature,
the air delivery, and the fan speed.

Use the steps below to place the entire system in
automatic mode:

1. Press the AUTO button.

When AUTO is selected, the display changes to
show the current temperature(s) and AUTO is lit on
the display. The current air delivery mode and fan
speed are also displayed for about 5 seconds.

When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning
operation and air inlet are automatically controlled.
The air conditioning compressor may run when
the outside temperature is above freezing.
The air inlet will normally be set to outside air.
If it is hot outside, the air inlet may automatically
switch to the recirculate mode to help quickly cool
down the air inside the vehicle. The light on the
button comes on in recirculation.

2. Set the driver's and passenger's temperature.

To find your comfort setting, start with a 23°C
(74°F) temperature setting and allow about
20 minutes for the system to regulate. Use the
driver or passenger temperature buttons to
adjust the temperature setting as necessary. If a
temperature setting of 15°C (60°F) is chosen, the
system remains at the maximum cooling setting.
If a temperature setting of 32°C (90°F) is chosen,
the system remains at the maximum heat setting.
Choosing either maximum setting will not cause
the vehicle to heat or cool any faster.
