Mode selection
The mode selection button controls the direction of the air flow through the ventilation system. Air can be directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, or windshield. Five symbols are used to represent Face, Bi-Level, Floor, Floor- Defrost and Defrost air position.
Face-Level (B, D)
Air flow is directed toward the upper body and face. Additionally, each outlet can be controlled to direct the air discharged from the outlet.
Bi-Level (B, C, D, E)
Air flow is directed towards the face and the floor.
Floor-Level (A, C, D, E)
Most of the air flow is directed to the floor, with a small amount of the air being directed to the windshield and side window defrosters.
Floor & Defrost (A, C, D, E)
Most of the air flow is directed to the floor and the windshield with a small amount directed to the side window defrosters.
MAX A/C-Level (B, D)
The MAX A/C mode is used to cool the inside of the vehicle faster. Air flow is directed toward the upper body and face.
In this mode, the A/C button and the Recirculation mode button will be automatically selected. Turn the fan speed mode to adjust.
After the interior cabin has cooled sufficiently, move the temperature knob away from the MAX A/C setting and adjust the knob to the desired position.
If you wish to continue using A/C ON, make sure the A/C button LED is illuminated.
Instrument panel vents
The instrument panel vent air flow can be directed up/down or left/right using the vent adjustment lever.
The outlet vents can be opened or closed separately using the vent control lever. If you move the vent control lever to the left end, the outlet vents can be closed.
Temperature control (2)
The temperature will increase by turning the knob to the right.
The temperature will decrease by turning the knob to the left.
Air intake control
The air intake control button is used to select either Fresh mode (outside air) or Recirculation mode (cabin air).
Recirculation mode
When Recirculation mode is selected, air from the passenger compartment will be recirculated through the system and heated or cooled according to the function selected.
Fresh mode
When Fresh mode is selected, air enters the vehicle from outside and is heated or cooled according to the function selected.
Information
Operating the system primarily in Fresh mode is recommended. Use Recirculation mode temporarily only when needed.
Prolonged operation of the heater in Recirculation mode and without the A/C ON can cause fogging of the windshield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C ON in Recirculation mode may result in excessively dry, dehumidified air in the cabin and may promote formation of musty vent odor due to stagnant air.
WARNING
Fan speed control (1)
Turn the knob to the right to increase the fan speed and airflow. Turn the knob to the left to decrease fan speed and airflow.
Setting the fan speed control knob to the "0" position turns off the fan.
NOTICE
Operating the fan speed when the ignition switch is in the ON position could cause the battery to discharge. Operate the fan speed when the engine is running.
Air conditioning (3)
Push the A/C button to turn the system on (indicator light will illuminate) and off.
Rear climate control button
If you press the rear climate control button, rear passengers can control the rear climate system.
The front seat can be adjusted by using the levers located on the outside of the seat cushion. Before driving, adjust the seat to the proper position so that you can easily control the steering wheel, foot pedals and controls on the instrument panel.
