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

the interior temperature to your pr eference as quickly as possible.
Use the system when the engine is running.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the interior temperature us ing the temperature control dial.
3. Press the (on/off) button to cancel.1Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons/icons
* are pressed while using the
climate control system in auto, the function of the
button/icon
* that was pressed will take priority.
The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions
unrelated to the button/icon
* that were pressed will
be controlled automatically.
To prevent cold air from bl owing in from outside, the
fan may not start i mmediately when the AUTO
button is pressed.
If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down
more rapidly by partial ly opening the windows,
turning the system on auto, and setting the
temperature to low. Change the fresh air mode to
recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.
