1Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are pressed while using the climate
control system in AUTO, the function of the button
that was pressed will take priority.
The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions
unrelated to the button that was pressed will be
controlled automatically.
The compressor may turn on to prevent window
fogging, even if the display reads A/C OFF.
(Recirculation) To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the
Button
fan may not start immediately when the AUTO
button is pressed.

Temperature
Control Dial Once you have set the desired temperature, do not
use the temperature control dials more than
(Windshield
necessary.
Doing so may delay the time it takes to reach the set
temperature.
If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down
more rapidly by partially opening the windows,
turning the system on AUTO, and setting the
temperature to low. Change the fresh air mode to
recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.
When you set the temperature to the lower or upper
limit, Lo or Hi is displayed.
Pressing the
control system between on and off. When turned on,
the system returns to your last selection.
