Climate Controls
Dual Climate Control System
The heating, cooling, defrosting, and ventilation for the
vehicle can be controlled with this system.
Automatic Operation
The climate control system automatically adjusts the
air temperature, air delivery mode, fan speed, and air
conditioning for best comfort in the vehicle. To activate
the automatic system:
AUTO (Automatic Mode):
1. Turn the fan and mode controls to the AUTO
position. This also sets the recirculation mode
to automatic operation on the display.
2. Press the up or down arrows to adjust the
temperature to a comfortable setting between
70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C).
3. Allow the system time to stabilize. This might take
several minutes in very hot or cold weather. Then
adjust the temperature, as needed for best comfort.
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature setting
will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.
In cold weather, the system starts at reduced fan
speeds to avoid blowing cold air into the vehicle until
warmer air is available. The automatic system starts
out blowing air at the floor, but changes modes
automatically as the vehicle warms up to maintain
the chosen temperature setting. The length of time
needed to warm the interior depends on the outside
temperature and the amount of time that has passed
since the vehicle was last driven.
