Climate Control System
Using Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature you select.
The system also selects the proper mix of heated or cooled air that will as quickly as
possible, raise or lower the interior temperature to your preference.
Use the system when the engine is running.
Press the AUTO button. 1.
Adjust the interior temperature using the temperature control dial. 2.
Press the 3. button to cancel.
Switching Between the Recirculation and Fresh Air Modes ■
Press the
button and switch the mode depending on environmental
conditions.
Recirculation Mode (indicator on): Recirculates air from the vehicle’s interior through
the system.
Fresh Air Mode (indicator off): Maintains outside ventilation. Keep the system in
fresh air mode in normal situations.
Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are pressed while using the climate
control system in AUTO, the function of the button
that was pressed will take priority.
The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions
unrelated to the button that was pressed will be
controlled automatically.
During the auto idle stop, the air conditioning
system will be turned off.
If the ECON mode is selected, the fan may also be
turned off.
To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside,
the fan may not start immediately when the AUTO
button is pressed.
Once you have set the desired temperature, do
not use the temperature control dial more than
necessary.
Doing so may delay the time it takes to reach the
set temperature.
If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down
more rapidly by partially opening the windows,
turning the system on AUTO, and setting the
temperature to low.
When you set the temperature to the lower or
upper limit, Lo or Hi is displayed.
Pressing the button switches the climate
control system between on and off. The system
selects your last selection.
