Climate Control System
Using Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature you
select.
The system also selects the proper mix of heated or cooled air that will as
quickly as possible, raise or lower the interior temperature to your
preference.
Use the system when the engine is running.
- Press the AUTO button.
- Adjust the interior temperature using the driver’s side or passenger’s side temperature control switch.
- Press the ON/OFF button to cancel.
Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are pressed while using the climate control system in auto, the
function of the button that was pressed will take priority.
The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions unrelated to the button that
was pressed will be controlled automatically.
During Auto Idle Stop, air-conditioning is suspended, and only the blower
remains active.
If you do not want air-conditioning suspended, press the Auto Idle Stop
OFF button to cancel Auto Idle Stop.
To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the fan may operate at low
speed for a while after the AUTO button has been pressed.
While ECON mode is active, the climate control system may have reduced cooling
performance.
If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down more rapidly by partially
opening the windows, turning the system on auto, and setting the temperature
to low. Change the fresh mode to recirculation mode until the temperature
cools down.
When you set the temperature to the lower or upper limit, Lo or Hi is
displayed.
