Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic): The system
automatically controls the inside
temperature, the air delivery,
and the fan speed.
To use automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
When AUTO is selected,
the current temperature(s)
selected and AUTO is shown on
the display. The current air
delivery mode and fan speed
also appear for approximately
five seconds.
When AUTO is selected, the air
conditioning and air inlet are
automatically controlled. The air
conditioning runs when the
outside temperature is over 40°F
(4°C). The system is
automatically set to outside air,
unless it is hot outside and
then the air inlet changes
to recirculation mode to help
quickly cool the vehicle. The
recirculation indicator light
will come on.
2. Set the temperature for the driver
and passenger.
To find a comfortable setting,
start with a 73°F (22°C)
temperature setting and allow
about 20 minutes for the system
to regulate. Use the driver’s side
or passenger side temperature
buttons to adjust the temperature
setting as necessary. The system
will remain at the selected setting.
Choosing the warmest or coolest
temperatures will not cause the
vehicle to heat or cool any faster.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold
weather, the system delays
turning on the fan until warm air
is available. Press the fan
control to override this delay and
select the fan speed.
Temperature Control
The driver and passenger side
temperature buttons are used to
adjust the temperature of the
air coming through the system. The
temperature can be adjusted
even if the system is turned off since
outside air still enters the vehicle,
unless the recirculation mode
is selected. See “Recirculation” later
in this section.
Driver’s Side Temperature
Control: Press the + or − buttons
to increase or decrease the
driver’s side temperature. The
driver’s side temperature display will
show the temperature setting.
Passenger Side Temperature
Control: Press the + or − buttons
to increase or decrease the
passenger side temperature. The
passenger side display will show the
temperature setting.
PASS (Passenger): Press to set
the passenger temperature to match
the driver temperature setting.
