Climate Control System*
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.
The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions
unrelated to the button th at was pressed will be
controlled automatically.

fogging, even if the display reads A/C OFF.
To prevent cold air from bl owing in from outside, the
fan may not start i mmediately when the AUTO
button is pressed.
Once you have set the desi red temperature, do not use
the temperature control di als more than necessary.
Doing so may delay the time it takes to reach the set

turning the system on auto, and setting the
temperature to low. Change the fresh air mode to
recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.
