Operating tips

:

• The automatic climate control is equipped with

sensors as illustrated. The sensors

A

and

B

help maintain a constant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around these sensors.

• Push the AUTO switch to reduce the power

consumption of the climate control system.

• When the AUTO switch is pushed, both the

AUTO and A/C indicator illuminate.

• • The AUTO indicator will turn off if the MODE

button, A/C button, fan speed control buttons,
front defroster button, outside air circulation
button or air circulation button is pushed.

• When the outside air temperature is low, the air

flow from the foot outlets will be low or may not
operate for up to 150 seconds after turning on
the air conditioner. This is not a malfunction.

• Power consumption of the climate control varies

depending on the outside temperature and the
temperature set for the climate control. Power
consumption increases if the interior tempera-
ture is cooled down too much in summer or if it
is warmed up too much in winter. This reduces
vehicle range.

• When the vehicle is in the ECO position, the

climate control operates in the ECO mode
which reduces the power consumption.

• If the charger is connected to the vehicle when

it is in the ready to drive mode and the air
conditioner or heater is on, the power switch
automatically changes to the ON position. The
climate control system automatically turns off
the heater or air conditioner and switches to the
air recirculation mode. Place the power switch
in the off position to begin charging. Turn on the
desired climate control function.

• If the air conditioner or heater is on while charg-

ing, the climate control system automatically
turns off the heater or air conditioning and
switches to the air recirculation mode when
charging is complete.

• The remote climate control or climate control

timer may fog up windows depending on the set
temperature or outside temperature.

• When turning on the seat heater switch prior to

operating the remote climate control or climate
control timer, the seat heater also will turn on.
The steering wheel heater will turn on automati-
cally when the outside temperature is low.

• When the vehicle is in ECO mode, the air con-

ditioner will accordingly stay in ECO mode for
lower power consumption.
