Using Automatic Climate Control

2. Adjust the interior temperature using the driver’s side or passenger’s side
temperature control switch.

while using the climate control system in auto, the
function of the button/icon th at was pressed will take
priority.
The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions

controlled automatically.
During idle-stops, air-conditioning is suspended, and
only the blower remains active.
If you do not want air-cond itioning suspended, press
to cancel idle-stop.
To prevent cold air from bl owing in from outside, the
fan may operate at low speed for a while after the
AUTO button has been pressed.
If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down

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