right side of the meter cluster. The odometer is
located within the vehicle information display.
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed.

METERS AND GAUGES
2-4Instruments and controls
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (rpm) . Do not rev engine into
the red zone
1.
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red
zone, reduce engine speed. Operating the
engine in the red zone may cause serious
engine damage.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The gauge indicates the engine coolant tempera-
ture. The engine coolant temperature is within the
normal range
1when the gauge needle points
within the zone shown in the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature varies with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions.
CAUTION
If the gauge indicates coolant tempera-
ture near the hot (H) end of the normal
range, reduce vehicle speed to decrease
temperature. If the gauge is over the nor-
mal range, stop the vehicle as soon as
safely possible. If the engine is over-
heated, continued operation of the vehicle
may seriously damage the engine. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “If your ve-
hicle overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency” section of this manual for
immediate action required.

Cooling
This mode is used to cool and dehumidify the air.1. Press the
air flow control button.
2. Turn the
fan control dial to the desired
position.
3. Press the
button.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the de- sired position.
● For quick cooling, press the MAX A/C but-
ton. When the MAX A/C button is pressed, it
will activate the
mode. The amount of
air coming through the vents is the highest it
can go when in MAX A/C mode regardless
of the position of the
fan control dial.
Dehumidified heating
This mode is used to heat and dehumidify the air.
1. Press the
button to the OFF position.
2. Press the
air flow control button.
3. Turn the
fan control dial to the desired
position.
4. Press the A/C button. The indicator light comes on. 5. Turn the temperature control dial to the de-
sired position.
Dehumidified defogging
This mode is used to defog the windows and
dehumidify the air.
1. Press the
front defrost button.
2. Turn the
fan control dial to the desired
position.
● When the
orare selected, the
air conditioner automatically turns on if the
outside temperature is more than 36°F
(2°C) . This dehumidifies the air which helps
defog the windshield. The
mode au-
tomatically turns off, allowing outside air to
be drawn into the passenger compartment
to further improve the defogging perfor-
mance.
● The air conditioner is always on in
ormode, regardless of whether the
indicator light is on or off.
3. Turn the temperature control dial to the de- sired position.
Operating tips
●Keep the windows and moonroof (if so
equipped) closed while the air conditioner is
in operation.
● After parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3 min-
utes with the windows open to vent hot air
from the passenger compartment. Then,
close the windows. This allows the air con-
ditioner to cool the interior more quickly.
● The air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately 10 minutes
at least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
● A visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air
is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
● If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. For additional
information, refer to “If your vehicle
overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency” section of this manual.

●If the engine coolant temperature becomes
too high,
will be activated and the
indicator light will come on automatically.
● When the ignition is OFF, button characters
will not illuminate.
AIR FLOW CHARTS
The following charts show the button and dial
positions for MAXIMUM AND QUICK heating,
cooling or defrosting. The air recirculation in-
dicator should always be in the OFF posi-
tion for heating and defrosting.

Remote engine start logic (if so
equipped)
Vehicles equipped with automatic climate con-
trols and remote start function may go into auto-
matic heating or cooling mode when remote start
is activated depending on outside and cabin tem-
peratures. During this period, the climate control
display and buttons will be inoperable until the
ignition switch is turned on. In remote start de-
frosting mode, the rear defroster and heated
steering wheel (if so equipped) may be activated
automatically.
MANUAL OPERATION
Fan speed control
Press thefan speed control buttons to
manually control the fan speed.
Press the AUTO button to return to automatic
control of the fan speed.
Air recirculation
Press theair recirculation button to recir-
culate interior air inside the vehicle. The
indicator light on the button will come on.
The air recirculation cannot be activated when
the air conditioner is in the
front defrosting
mode.
Fresh air intake
Press thefresh air intake button to draw
outside air into the passenger compartment.
Air flow control
Pressing the MODE button manually controls air
flow and selects the air outlet:
— Air flows mainly from center and
side vents.
— Air flows mainly from center andside vents and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from foot outletsand partly from defroster.
— Air flows mainly from defrosterand foot outlets.
Temperature control dial
The temperature control dial allows you to adjust
the temperature of the outlet air. To lower the
temperature, turn the dial to the left. To increase
the temperature, turn the dial to the right.
To turn system off
Press the ON-OFF button.
Rear window and outside mirror (if so
equipped) defroster switch
For additional information, refer to “Rear window
and outside mirror (if so equipped) defroster
switch” in the “Instruments and controls” section
of this manual.
OPERATING TIPS
●When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is
not a malfunction. After the coolant tempera-
ture warms up, air flow from the foot outlets
will operate normally.
● Keep the windows and moonroof (if so
equipped) closed while the air conditioner is
in operation.
● If you feel that the air flow mode you have
selected and the outlets the air is coming out
do not match, select the
mode.
● When you change the air flow mode, you
may feel air flow from the feet vents for just a
moment. This is not a malfunction.
