WARNING
. The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is run-
ning.
. Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
not be left alone either. On hot, sunny
days, temperatures in a closed vehicle
could quickly become high enough to
cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
Start the engine and operate the automatic
climate control system.
When the “STATUS”button is pushed, the
automatic climate control status screen
will appear. (See “How to use STATUS
button” earlier in this section.)
