Climate Controls Dual Climate Control System With this system the heating, cooling, and ventilation for the vehicle can be controlled. When the vehicle is first started, the system will recall the last temperature fan and mode settings for that driver. Automatic Operation AUTO (Automatic): When this button is pressed and the temperature is set, the system automatically controls the temperature, air delivery mode, air conditioning compressor and the fan speed. AUTO will appear on the display. 1. Press the AUTO button. 2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C). An initial setting of 73°F (23°C) is suggested. Choosing the warmest or coldest temperature setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. If the system is set at the warmest or coldest temperature setting, the system remains in manual mode at that temperature and it will not go into automatic mode. In cold weather, the system will start at reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into your vehicle until warmer air is available. The system starts out blowing air at the floor but may change modes automatically as the vehicle warms up to maintain the chosen temperature setting. The length of time needed for warm up will depend on the outside temperature and the length of time that has elapsed since the vehicle was last driven. 3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take from 10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the temperature, if necessary. A. Driver and Passenger Power/Temperature Buttons B. Heated Seats C. Recirculation D. Defrost E.
