configuration, the condition of the
vehicle and/or other circumstances
can interfere with the navigation
system's ability to determine the

information has changed. See your
dealer for service.

8-2 Climate Controls
O(Off):Press the driver side
temperature knob to turn the climate
control system off. Outside air still
enters the vehicle, and is directed
to the floor. This direction can be
changed by pressing the mode
button. The temperature can also be
adjusted using either temperature
knob. Press the up or down arrows
on the fan switch, the defrost
button, the AUTO button, driver
side temperature knob, or the air
conditioning button to turn the
system on when it is off.
Driver and Passenger Side
Temperature Knob
The driver and passenger side
temperature knobs are used to
adjust the temperature of the air
coming through the system on the
driver or passenger's side of the
vehicle. The temperature can be
adjusted even if the system is
turned off. This is possible since
outside air always flows through the system as the vehicle is
moving forward unless it is set
to recirculation mode. See
“Recirculation”
later in this
section.
Turn the knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the cabin temperature.
The display will show the
temperature setting increasing
or decreasing.
Set the passenger's temperature
setting to match the driver
temperature setting by pressing
the passenger power knob.
When in defrost mode the
passenger temperature setting
cannot be changed.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic): When
automatic operation is active the
system will control the inside
temperature, the air delivery, and
the fan speed. Use the steps below to place the
entire system in automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
When AUTO is selected, the
display will change to show the
current temperature(s) and
AUTO will appear. The current
delivery mode and fan speed
will also be displayed for
approximately five seconds.
When AUTO is selected, the
air conditioning operation and
air inlet will be automatically
controlled. The air conditioning
compressor will run when the
outside temperature is over
about 4°C (40°F). The air inlet
will normally be set to outside
air. If it is hot outside, the air
inlet may automatically switch to
recirculate inside air to help
quickly cool down the vehicle.
The light on the button comes on
in recirculation.

2. Set the driver and passengertemperature.
To find your comfort setting,
start with a 23°C (74°F)
temperature setting and allow
about 20 minutes for the system
to regulate. Use the driver or
passenger temperature buttons
to adjust the temperature setting
as necessary. If a temperature
setting of 15°C (60°F) is chosen,
the system remains at the
maximum cooling setting. If a
temperature setting of 32°C
(90°F) is chosen, the system
remains at the maximum heat
setting. Choosing either
maximum setting will not cause
the vehicle to heat or cool any
faster.
Do not to cover the sensor located
on the top of the instrument panel
near the windshield. This sensor
regulates air temperature based
on sun load and also turns on the
headlamps. To avoid blowing cold air in cold
weather, the system will delay
turning on the fan until warm air
is available. The length of delay
depends on the engine coolant
temperature. Pressing the fan
switch will override this delay and
change the fan to a selected speed.
