Temperature Control: Select the desired cabin air
temperature between 60-90°F (16-32°C). Choosing the
coldest or warmest temperature setting does not
cause the system to heat or cool any faster.
Be careful not to cover the sensor located on the top of
the instrument panel near the windshield. Also, do
not cover the sensor grille below the climate control
faceplate. These two sensors help regulate the inside air
temperature.
AUTO (Automatic Air Delivery Mode): Turn the air
delivery mode knob to AUTO for the system to
automatically control the direction of the airflow to help
reach the desired inside temperature.
The system automatically controls the air inlet to supply
the outside air or recirculated inside air needed to
heat or cool the vehicle faster. The indicator light on the
recirculation button will be lit whenever the system
switches to recirculation.
You can switch to outside air by pressing the outside air
button. However, the recirculation mode may turn
back on automatically.
In cold weather, if the fan and air delivery modes are in
automatic, the system starts at lower fan speeds to
avoid directing cold air into the vehicle until warmer air
is available. The climate control system directs air
to the floor, but may automatically change modes as the
vehicle warms up to maintain the chosen temperature

setting. The length of time needed to warm the interior
depends on the outside temperature and inside
temperature of the vehicle.

air is always available in the vehicle. To turn off the
air completely, turn the fan to
