8-2 Climate Controls 2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting between 16°C (60°F) and 32°C (90°F). Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. A setting of 23°C (73°F) is suggested. 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 depends 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. Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of the instrument panel, near the windshield. For more information on the solar sensor, see "Sensors" later in this section. The outside temperature is shown in the center of the display. The digital display will show the readings in Fahrenheit or Celsius. See "Personal Options" under Vehicle Personalization on page 5‑52 for information on changing your display. Manual Operation Driver Power/Temperature: Press the driver temperature knob to turn the climate control system off. This is the only setting that completely shuts off the fan. The digital display shows only the outside temperature. The driver and the passenger set temperature and the air intake mode can still be adjusted when the climate control is off. Passenger Power/Temperature: Press the passenger temperature knob to turn the passenger's climate control system on or off. Turn the knob to increase or decrease the temperature for the passenger. If the passenger's climate control system is off, the driver's temperature knob will control the temperature for the entire vehicle. Automatic Operation AUTO (Automatic): Press the AUTO button to place the entire system in the automatic mode. When automatic operation is active, the system automatically controls the inside temperature, the air delivery mode, and the fan speed. After a 10 second display of the current settings, the word AUTO, the driver's temperature setting and the outside temperature will be shown. The system operates to reach the set temperature as quickly as possible. The AUTO control system works best with the windows up and the removable roof installed or the convertible top up. 1. Press the AUTO button.
