“This is the climate control panel for your vehicle.
The AUTO mode may be used all year round. The system automatically regulates and maintains fan speed, airflow and temperature in the cabin. To turn the system ON, press the AUTO button. The indicator light turns ON when the system is activated.
The AUTO function can be turned OFF by either changing the fan speed or by pressing the DEFROSTER, MODE or OFF buttons. To reactivate automatic control, press the AUTO button.
To turn the entire climate control system OFF, press the OFF button.
Your vehicle has separate temperature control knobs for the driver and front seat passenger. The driver’s temperature control will set the temperature for both driver and passenger if the DUAL control is not activated. Turn the driver’s side control knob to the left for cooler air or to the right for warmer air.
If you want to adjust the passenger side temperature independently from the driver’s side, press the DUAL button or turn the passenger’s side temperature control knob. The DUAL control indicator light will illuminate. Turn it to the left for cooler air or to the right for warmer air. The passenger’s side temperature will be displayed on the monitor. To switch back to driver control, press the DUAL button again.
The MODE button provides a choice of airflow outlets. Press repeatedly to cycle through these four choices:
● Air will flow from center and side vents
● Air will flow from center, side and foot outlets
● Air will flow mainly from foot outlets
● Air will flow from the defroster and foot outlets Press the A/C button to turn the air conditioning ON or OFF.
Intake air control is automatically regulated in AUTO mode. Press the intake air control button to manually alternate between recirculating inside air and drawing outside air into the cabin. The indicator light on the active side of the button will illuminate.
The air recirculation mode increases air conditioning efficiency and helps block outside odors from entering the cabin. This mode cannot be used when in Defrost mode because allowing outside air to enter the vehicle improves defogging performance.
To return to automatic control of the air intake mode, press and hold the air intake control button for approximately 2 seconds.
Use the fan speed control buttons to adjust the fan speed. Press the PLUS button to increase fan speed. Press the MINUS button to decrease fan speed. When you
manually change fan speeds, it turns off the automatic climate control mode. To return to automatic climate control, press the AUTO button.
To defrost or defog the front and side windows, press the DEFROSTER button. The indicator light will illuminate. Airflow will be directed to the front and side windows.
In the DEFROST mode, the A/C activates automatically at temperatures above 23 degrees Fahrenheit and the air recirculation mode automatically turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn into the passenger compartment to improve the defogging and deicing performance. For windshield deicing, your temperature selector should be turned to maximum heat and the fan speed set to the high setting.
Press the AUTO button to return to AUTO mode. The system will return to your previous settings.
To defrost or defog the rear window and the outside mirrors, if so equipped, push the REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER switch. The indicator light will illuminate. After defrosting, push to turn OFF. If not turned OFF manually, this feature will automatically deactivate after approximately 15 minutes.
There is a temperature sensor located on top of the dashboard near the windshield that helps regulate the automatic climate control settings. Keep this area clear of papers and other materials.
Please see your Owner’s Manual for important safety information, system limitations and additional operating information.
