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 raises or lowers
the interior temperature to your preference as quickly as possible.

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 control
dial.

Press the

(ON/OFF) button to cancel.

■

Switching between the recirculation and fresh air modes

Press the

(recirculation) button and switch the mode depending on

environmental conditions.
Recirculation mode (indicator on): Recirculates air from the vehicle’s interior through
the system.
Fresh air mode (indicator off): Maintains outside ventilation. Keep the system in
fresh air mode in normal situations.

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 idle-stops, 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 idle-stop.

To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the
fan may not start immediately when the

AUTO

button is pressed.

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 air mode to
recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.

When you set the temperature to the lower or upper
limit,

is displayed.

Pressing the

button switches the climate

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

While ECON mode is active, the climate control
system may have reduced cooling performance.
