– CONTINUED –T Temperature control dial
Driver’s side
Passenger’s side
It is possible to make separate tempera- ture settings for the driver’s side and pas-
senger’s side. Each temperature setting is
shown on the display. With the dial set at
your desired temperature, the system au-
tomatically adjusts the temperature of air
supplied from the outlets such that the de-
sired temperature is achieved and main-
tained.
If the dial is turned fully counterclockwise,
the system gives maximum cooling perfor-
mance. If the dial is turned fully clockwise,
the system gives ma ximum heating per-
formance.

and front door windows, push the defrost-
er button “ ”. When the “ ” button
is pushed, regardless whether the air con- ditioner is operating or not, outside air is

and front door windows, and the indicator
light on the button comes on.
After eliminating the fogging from the
windshield, return t he climate control sys-
tem to the AUTO mode by pushing the

hind a vehicle that emits unpleasant
exhaust gases, set the air inlet selec-
tion button to the “ ” position.
From time to time, return the air inlet
selection button to the “ ” posi-
tion to draw outsid e air into the pas-
senger compartment. „ Temperature sensors
1) Solar sensor
2) Interior air temperature sensor
The automatic climate control system em-
ploys several sensors. These sensors are
delicate. If they are treated incorrectly and
become damaged, the system may not be
able to control the interior temperature
correctly. To avoid damaging the sensors,
observe the following precautions:
– Do not subject the sensors to impact.
– Keep water away from the sensors.
– Do not cover the sensors.
The sensors are located as follows:
– Solar sensor: beside windshield de-
froster grille
– Interior air temperature sensor: on the side of the driver-si de part of the center
panel
– Outside temperature sensor: behind
front grille.
Continued operation in the “ ”
position may fog up the windows.
Switch to the “ ” position as
soon as the outside dusty condition
clears. 1
