Climate Controls 8-5
When AUTO is selected, the
current temperature(s) selected
and AUTO is shown on the
display. The current air delivery
mode and fan speed also
appear for approximately
five seconds.
When AUTO is selected, the air
conditioning and air inlet are
automatically controlled. The
air conditioning runs when the
outside temperature is over
4°C (40°F). The system is
automatically set to outside air,
unless it is hot outside and
then the air inlet changes to
recirculation mode to help
quickly cool the vehicle. The
recirculation indicator light will
come on.
2. Set the temperature for the
driver and passenger.
To find a comfortable setting,
start with a 22°C (73°F)
temperature setting and allow
about 20 minutes for the
system to regulate. Use the
driver side or passenger side
temperature buttons to adjust
the temperature setting as
necessary. The system will
remain at the selected setting.
Choosing the warmest or coolest
temperatures does not cause the
vehicle to heat or cool more
quickly.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold
weather, the system delays
turning on the fan until warm air
is available. Press the fan
control to override this delay and
select the fan speed.
Temperature Control
The driver and passenger side
temperature buttons are used to
adjust the temperature of the air
coming through the system. The
temperature can be adjusted even
if the system is turned off since
outside air still enters the vehicle,
unless the recirculation mode is
selected. See “Recirculation” later in
this section.
Driver Side Temperature
Control: Press the + or − buttons
to increase or decrease the driver
side temperature. The driver side
temperature display will show the
temperature setting.
Passenger Side Temperature
Control: Press the + or − buttons
to increase or decrease the
passenger side temperature.
The passenger side display will
show the temperature setting.
PASS (Passenger): Press to set
the passenger temperature to match
the driver temperature setting. The
PASS indicator will turn off. When
the passenger temperature setting
is different than the driver setting,
the PASS indicator comes on.
Manual Operation

can be manually adjusted.
