It is possible to make separate temperature settings
for the driver’s side and passenger’s side. Each tem-
perature setting is shown on the display. With the dial
set at your desired temperature, the system automati-
cally adjusts the temperature of air supplied from the
outlets such that the desired temperature is achieved
and maintained.

Temperature sensors
A) Solar sensor
B) Interior air temperature sensor
The automatic climate control system employs several
sensors. These sensors are delicate. If they are treat-
ed incorrectly and become damaged, the system may
not be able to control the interior temperature correct-
ly. To avoid damaging the sensors, observe the follow-
ing precautions:
– Do not subject the sensors to impact.
– Keep water away from the sensors.
– Do not cover the sensors.
