AUTO (Automatic Mode)
1. Turn the fan control to AUTO.
2. Turn the mode control to AUTO.
3. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable
setting between 68°F (21°C) and 78°F (26°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or
cool any faster. In cold weather, the system
will start at reduced fan speeds to avoid
blowing cold air into your vehicle until warmer
air is available. The system will start out
blowing air at the floor but may change modes
automatically as the vehicle warms up to
maintain the chosen temperature setting.
The length of time needed to warm the interior
will depend on the outside temperature.
4. Wait a few minutes for the system to
automatically regulate. Then adjust the
temperature as necessary to find your
comfort setting.
Do not cover the solar sensor located in the
center of the instrument panel, near the
windshield. For more information on the solar
sensor, see “Sensors” later in this section.
After your vehicle is started, the display will show
the interior temperature settings.
When the ENG/MET (English/metric) button on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) is pressed, the
display will show readings in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Use the ENG/MET button to toggle between them.
AUTO (Automatic Air Conditioning): If AUTO is
selected on the fan or mode control, the system
will automatically control the air conditioning
compressor. The A/C compressor will run
automatically even at cool outside temperatures in
order to dehumidify the air. The A/C indicator
light will be lit when the system is operating
automatically, even at near freezing outside
temperatures. Press the A/C button on the fan
control to turn off the A/C. For improved window
clearing performance in defog or defrost modes,
the A/C compressor will run automatically in damp
cool conditions.
