Climate Control System
Using Automatic Climate Control The automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature you select. The system also selects the proper mix of heated or cooled air that will as quickly as possible, raise or lower the interior temperature to your preference. Use the system when the engine is running.Press the AUTO button.
1.
Adjust the interior temperature using the temperature control dial.
2.
Press the
3.
button to cancel.
Switching Between the Recirculation and Fresh Air Modes
■
Press the
button and switch the mode depending on environmental
conditions.
Recirculation Mode (indicator on): Recirculates air from the v ehicle’s interior through
the system.Fresh Air Mode (indicator off): Maintains outside ventilation. Keep the system in fresh air mode in normal situations.
Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are pressed while using the climate control system in AUTO, the function of the button that was pressed will take priority.The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions unrelated to the button that was pressed will be controlled automatically. During the auto idle stop, the air conditioning system will be turned off.If the ECON mode is selected, the fan may also be turned off. To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the fan may not start immediately when the AUTO button is pressed. Once you have set the desired temperature, do not use the temperature control dial more than necessary.Doing so may delay the time it takes to reach the set temperature. If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down more rapidly by partially opening the windows, turning the system on AUTO, and setting the temperature to low. When you set the temperature to the lower or upper limit, Lo or Hi is displayed. Pressing the
button switches the climate
control system between on and off. The system selects your last selection.

VSA ®
(Vehicle Stability Assist), aka ESC (Electronic
Stability Control), System
Without VSA ®
, your vehicle will have normal
braking and cornering ability, but it will not have VSA ®
traction and stability enhancement.
In certain unusual conditions when your vehicle gets stuck in shallow mud or fresh snow, it may be easier to free it with the VSA ®
temporarily switched
off. When the VSA ®
system is off, the traction control
system is also off. You should only attempt to free your vehicle with the VSA ®
off if you are not able
to free it when the VSA ®
is on.
Immediately after freeing your vehicle, be sure to switch VSA ®
on again. We do not recommend
driving your vehicle with the VSA ®
and traction
control systems switched off. If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on or blinks, the VSA ®
system comes on automatically.
In this case, you cannot turn the system off by pressing the
button.
You may hear a motor sound coming from the
engine compartment while system checks are being performed immediately after starting the engine or while driving. This is normal.
