Climate control
– CONTINUED –
Automatic climate control system (if
equipped)
Although this climate control system can be used as a
full-automatic climate control system, it can also, if de-
sired, be used as a semi-automatic climate control
system.
When it is used as a full-automatic climate control sys-
tem, the outlet air temperature, fan speed, air flow dis-
tribution, air inlet control, and air conditioner compres-
sor operation are all automatically controlled to main-
tain a constant, comfortable temperature inside the
vehicle.
NOTE
y Operate the automatic climate control system
when the engine is running.
y
When the engine coolant is cold, the blower
does not run.
y
In the “AUTO” mode, when the air temperature
in the passenger compartment is sufficiently cool,
the air conditioner compressor does not operate.
For efficient defogging or dehumidifying in cold
weather, press the “A/C” button to operate the air
conditioner compressor.
y
Even when cooling is not necessary, setting the
temperature much lower than the current outlet air
temperature turns on the air conditioner compres-
sor automatically and the “A/C” indicator light on
the control panel comes on.
