NOTE "
Operate the automatic climate control system
when the engine is running. " The blower fan rotates at a low speed when the
engine coolant temperature is low.
For efficient defogging or dehumidifying in cold
weather, press the “A/C” button. " Even when cooling is not necessary, setting the
temperature much lower than the current outlet air
temperature turns on the air conditioner compres-
sor automatically and the “A/C” indicator light on

The automatic climate control system automatically
controls outlet air temperature, fan speed, air flow dis-
tribution air-inlet control, and air conditioner compres-
sor operation. It activates when the “AUTO” button is
pressed, and is used to maintain a constant, comfort-
able climate within the passenger compartment.
The temperature can be set within a range of 65 to 85 °F (18 to 32 °C).
