and can be scratched or damaged
by abrasive products, solvents,
or ammonia-based window
cleaners. Clean with a soft, lint-free,
cotton cloth that has been slightly dampened with warm water. Dry the
screens by wiping with a clean dry
cotton cloth.

other protective cases and away
from direct sunlight and dust. The
DVD player scans the bottom
surface of the disc. If the surface of
a CD or DVD is damaged, such as
cracked, broken, or scratched, the
CD or DVD may not play properly or
not at all. If the surface of a CD or
DVD is soiled, take a soft, lint free
cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth
in a mild, neutral detergent solution
mixed with water, and clean it. Make
sure the wiping process starts from
the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a
CD or DVD while handling it; this
could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs or DVDs by grasping the outer
edges or the edge of the hole and
the outer edge.

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 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 temperature
setting to match the driver
temperature setting by pressing the
passenger temperature 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 come on the display. The
current delivery mode and fan
speed will also be displayed for
approximately 5 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.
Be careful 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.
