This function automatically regulates the Electronic Climate Control system so that the selected temperatures are
maintained. The blower, heating, air distribution (air flow) and air conditioning are controlled. If you prefer to
manually set any of these functions, the remaining functions will still be controlled automatically. Pressing the AUTO
button overrides any settings that were previously made manually.
Temperature
These controls are used to individually set the temperature for both sides of the passenger compartment. Please note
that the compartment will not be heated or cooled faster by setting the temperature higher or lower than necessary.
Set the control to the temperature you prefer.
Defroster
This function demists/de-ices the windshield and front side windows. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate
that the defrost function is engaged. Blower speed increases automatically and the air in the passenger compartment is
dehumidified. Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged.
Heated rear window/sideview mirrors
This function demists/de-ices the rear window and sideview mirrors. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate
that the heating function is engaged. See page 33
for additional information on this function.
CAUTION :
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirror surface.

Recirculation
Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the passenger compartment recirculates - no fresh air
enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the function is engaged.
· Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/cool the car quickly.
