DUAL ZONE AUTOMATIC
CLIMATE CONTROL
You can use the automatic setting to
set a preferred air temperature inside
your vehicle. The system then adjusts
temperature, fan speed, air distribution,
air conditioning operation and selects
outside air or recirculated air to heat or
cool the vehicle.
Press the AUTO button to set your
desired temperature.
You and your front passenger can
press independent controls to adjust
the air temperature on each side of the
vehicle. Press PASS TEMP or DUAL
(depending on your system) and turn
the control or press + or
� to increase or decrease the air temperature on the
passenger side of the vehicle.

vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is
not necessary. The system automatically
adjusts to heat or cool the cabin to
your selected temperature as quickly
as possible. For the system to function
efficiently, the instrument panel and side
air vents should be fully open.

temperatures, the system directs airflow

speed until the engine warms up.

temperatures, or when the inside of the
vehicle is hot, the system automatically
uses recirculated air to maximize interior
cooling. When the interior reaches
the selected temperature, the system
automatically switches to using
outside air.

lights footwells and cupholders with a
choice of colors. To access and make
