Climate Controls

Dual Climate Control System

With this system you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation for your vehicle.
Automatic Operation
Vehicles With Heated and Ventilated Seats Shown,
Vehicles Without Similar
AUTO (Automatic): When this button is pressed and
the temperature is set, the system will automatically
control the inside temperature, the air delivery mode,
the air conditioning compressor, and the fan speed.
3-48
AUTO will appear on the display next to the fan, mode
indicators, and recirculation indicator if your vehicle
is equipped with the optional air quality sensor.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting,
generally, between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any
faster. If you set the system at the warmest
temperature setting, the system will try to
continuously heat the vehicle and will not adjust the
system down as the vehicle warms up.
In cold weather, the system may start at reduced
fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into your
vehicle until warmer air is available. The system will
start out blowing air at the floor but may change
modes, automatically, as the vehicle warms
up to maintain the chosen temperature setting. The
length of time needed for warm up will depend
on the outside temperature and the length of time
that has elapsed since your vehicle was last driven.
3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take from
10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the temperature, if
necessary.
