Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic): The system
automatically controls the inside
temperature, the air delivery,
and the fan speed.
To use automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
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
40°F (4°C). 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 73°F (22°C)
temperature setting and allow
about 20 minutes for the system
to regulate. Use the driver's 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.
Instrument Panel
Temperature Control
The driver and passenger side
temperature buttons are used to
adjust the temperature of the

The temperature can be adjusted

outside air still enters the vehicle,
unless the recirculation mode
is selected. See "Recirculation"
later in this section.
