the fan is taken out of AUTO mode. When you set the temperature to its
lower limit ( ) or its upper limit
( ), the system runs at f ull
cooling or heating only. It does not
regulate the interior temperature.In the Auto mode, the vehicle’s
interior temperature is
independently regulated f or the
driver, f ront passenger, and rear
passengers according to each
adjusted temperature. The system
also regulates each temperature
basedontheinformationof thesun
light sensor and the sun position

the navigation’s global positioning
system (GPS). For example, if the
driver’s side of the vehicle getting
too much sun, the system will adjust
to a lower temperature.When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, the temperature
of the rear passenger compartment
is synchronized to the driver’s side
set temperature. You will see SYNC

temperature of the rear passenger
compartment takes the system out
of synchronized mode. This causes
thewordSYNCinthedisplaytogo
out and displays the rear
temperature in the f ront display.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position and see LOCK
