Climate Control System
Using Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature you select.

fresh air mode in normal situations.
1 Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are presse d while using the climate
control system in AUTO, the function of the button
that was pressed will take priority.
