FRONT AIR CONTROLLER OPERATION (EXCEPT BASE AUDIO SYSTEM)

A/C Display

• Front air conditioning system state is indicated on the display.

• When “STATUS” on the A/C and AV switch assembly is pressed while front air conditioning system is in the

ON position, the display changes to state indication display of front air conditioning system. When front air

conditioning system is operated while navigation system or audio system is displayed, front air conditioning

system state is indicated in the lower portion of display for several seconds.

• When MODE switch is pressed while front air conditioning system is in the OFF position, state indication dis-

play is indicated for several seconds.

Temperature control 
switch (Driver side)

Setting temperature is selected using this switch within a range between 18

°C (60°F) and 32°C (90°F) 

at a rate of 0.5

°C (1.0°F) per adjustment.

•

 Press: Setting temperature increases

•

 Press: Setting temperature decreases

NOTE:
When air conditioning system is OFF, setting temperature can be selected only while air conditioning 
system status screen [only when MODE switch (driver side) is pressed] is indicated on display.

Temperature control 
switch (Passenger side)

• The system is set to LH/RH independent status (“DUAL” displays) by operating this switch. Outlet 

air flow temperature of passenger side can be changed without changing outlet air flow temperature 
of driver side.

• Setting temperature is selected using this switch within a range between 18

°C (60°F) and 32°C 

(90

°F) at a rate of 0.5°C (1.0°F) per adjustment.

 Press: Setting temperature increases

-

 Press: Setting temperature decreases

NOTE:
• When air conditioning system is OFF, setting temperature can be selected only while air condition-

ing system status screen [only when MODE switch (passenger side) is pressed] is indicated on dis-
play.

• When DEF mode is ON, temperature control switch (passenger side) is inoperative.

A/C switch

Turns the compressor control (switch indicator) between ON 

⇔ OFF each time while front blower fan 

is activated.
NOTE:
• When front blower fan is OFF, the compressor control cannot be activated.
• When the compressor control (switch indicator) is in the OFF position, air inlet is fresh air intake.

AUTO switch

Turns the switch indicator lamp and "AUTO" indicator on the display ON, and then front air condition-
ing system becomes the following state.
• Air inlet: Automatic control
• Air outlet: Automatic control
• Blower fan: Automatic control
• Compressor: ON

Defroster (DEF) switch

Turns DEF mode (switch indicator) between ON 

⇔ OFF each time.

When DEF switch is pressed while front air conditioning system is in the ON position.

• When DEF mode is turned ON, front air conditioning system becomes the following state.
- Air inlet: Fresh air intake
- Air outlet: DEF
- Blower fan: Automatic control (If fan speed other than AUTO is selected before pressing DEF 

switch, fan speed is manual control.)

- Compressor: ON
• When DEF mode is turned OFF, front air conditioning system state returns to the previous state 

before DEF mode is selected. But, the following state is continued.

- Air inlet: Fresh air intake
- Compressor: ON

When DEF switch is pressed while front air conditioning system is in the OFF position.

• When DEF mode is turned ON, front air conditioning system becomes the following state.
- Air inlet: Fresh air intake
- Air outlet: DEF
- Blower fan: Automatic control
- Compressor: ON
• When DEF mode is turned OFF, entire front air conditioning system is set to auto mode.
NOTE:
When DEF mode turns ON while front air conditioning system is in automatic control (“AUTO” is indi-
cated), automatic control is released (“AUTO” turns OFF).

DUAL switch

• Turns left and right ventilation temperature separately control (switch indicator) between ON 

⇔ 

OFF each time.

• When DUAL switch indicator is ON, the driver side and passenger side temperatures can each be 

set independently.

• When DUAL switch indicator is OFF, the driver side outlet and setting temperature is applied to both 

sides.

• Left and right ventilation temperature separately control is cancelled by turning the DEF mode ON.
NOTE:
When front air conditioning system is in the OFF position, left and right ventilation temperature sepa-
rately control can be selected only while front air conditioning system state (when MODE switch is 
pressed) is indicated on the display.

Fan switch

Blower fan speed is manually controlled with this switch.
NOTE:
• When fan switch is operated while front air conditioning system is in OFF, front air conditioning sys-

tem is activated. (Compressor control state returns to the previous state before front air condition-
ing system OFF.)

• When fan switch is operated while front air conditioning system is in automatic control (“AUTO” is 

indicated), automatic control is released (“AUTO” turns OFF).
