AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating
(AUTO)
This mode may be used all year round as the
system automatically works to keep a constant
temperature. Air flow distribution and fan speed
are also controlled automatically.
1. Press the AUTO button on. (The indicator on
the button will illuminate and AUTO will be
displayed.)
2. Operate the driver’s side temperature con-
trol buttons.
● Adjust the temperature display to about
75°F (24°C) for normal operation.
● The temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
● A visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air
is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
3. You can individually set driver’s and front
passenger’s side temperature using each
temperature control button. When the DUAL
button or passenger’s side temperature but-
ton is pressed, the DUAL indicator will come
on. To turn off the passenger’s side tempera-
ture control, press the DUAL button.
Heating (A/C OFF)
The air conditioner does not activate. When you
need to heat only, use this mode.
1. Press the A/C button. (A/C OFF will be
displayed and A/C indicator will turn off.)
2. Operate the temperature control buttons to
set the desired temperature.
● The temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
● Do not set the temperature lower than the
outside air temperature. Otherwise the sys-
tem may not work properly.
● Not recommended if windows fog up.
Dehumidified defrosting or defogging
1. Press the
front defroster button on.
(The indicator light on the button will come
on.)
2. Operate the temperature control buttons to
set the desired temperature.
● To quickly remove ice from the outside of the
windows, use the fan speed control dial to
set the fan speed to maximum.
● As soon as possible after the windshield is
clean, press the AUTO button to return to
the automatic mode.
● When the
front defroster button is
pressed, the air conditioner will automati-
cally be turned on at outside temperatures
above 36°F (2°C). The air recirculate mode
automatically turns off, allowing outside air
to be drawn into the passenger compart-
ment to further improve the defogging per-
formance.
