When you set the temperature to its
lower limit (
) or its upper limit
(
), the system runs at full cooling
or heating only. It does not regulate
the interior temperature.
When you press a fan control bar, the
fan is taken out of AUTO mode.
You can also select the appropriate
mode on the driver’ s side and the
passenger ’s side separately. To
change a mode, press and release
the appropriate side mode control
button. This will take the mode
control out of AUTO mode.
On models with navigation systemIn AUTO mode, the vehicle ’s interior
temperature is independently
regulated for the driver and front
passenger according to each
adjusted temperature. The system
also regulates each temperature
based on the information of the
sunlight sensor and the sun ’s
position which is updated
automatically by the navigation ’s
global positioning system (GPS). If
one side of the vehicle is getting too
much sun, the system lowers the
temperature only on that side.
SYNC ButtonWhen you press this button, the
indicator in the button comes on, and
the passenger ’s side temperature and
mode control is synchronized to the
driver ’s side set temperature and
mode control. Changing the
passenger ’s side temperature or
mode control makes the indicator go
off and takes the system out of SYNC
mode.
