Do not use the AC power outlet for electrical 
appliances that require high initial peak wattage, 
such as cathode-ray tube type televisions, 
refrigerators, electric pumps, etc. It is not suitable for 
devices that process precise data, such as medical 
equipment, and that require an extremely stable 
power supply, such as microcomputer-controlled 
electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.

The AC power outlet is designed to supply power for 
up to 115 volt appliances that are rated 400 watts or 
less. 

Continued use of any electrical appliance/device 
exceeding these ratings may result in damage to the 
appliance/device.

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.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the interior temperature using the driver’s side or passenger’s side 

temperature control switch.

3. 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.

If ECON mode is selected, the fan may turn off.
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.

Once you have set the desired temperature, do not 
use the temperature control switches more than 
necessary.
Doing so may delay the time it takes to reach the set 
temperature.

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.

Pressing the 

 ON/OFF button switches the 

climate control system between on and off. When 
turned on, the system returns to your last selection.

windshield may fog up.

If the side windows fog up, adjust the vents so that 
the air hits the side windows.
