The Automatic Climate Control System is controlled by setting the desired temperature.
For your convenience and to improve the efficiency of the climate control, use the AUTO button and set the temperature to 72°F (22°C).
1. Press the AUTO button (3).
The modes, fan speeds, air intake and air-conditioning will be controlled automatically by the temperature setting you select.
2. To select a different set point, turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature. If the temperature is set to the lowest setting (Lo), the air conditioning system will operate continuously. After the interior has cooled sufficiently, adjust the knob to a higher temperature set point whenever possible.
To turn the automatic operation off, select any button of the following:
- Mode selection button
- Front windshield defroster button
(Press the button one more time to
deselect the front windshield
defroster function. The 'AUTO' sign
will illuminate on the information
display once again.)
- Fan speed control button
The selected function will be controlled manually while other functions operate automatically.
NOTICE
Never place anything near the ambient light/solar sensor to ensure better control of the heating and cooling system.
Even though your vehicle is equipped with the OCS, never install a child restraint in the front passenger's seat. An inflating air bag can forcefully strike a child or child restraint resulting in serious or fatal injury.
