Main Menu Table Of Contents Climate Control System Using Automatic Climate Control The automatic climate control system in your vehicle picks the proper combination of air conditioning, heating, and ventilation to maintain the interior temperature you select. The system also adjusts the fan speed and airflow levels. 1. Press the Auto button on the front control panel. You will see AUTO in the system display. 2. Adjust the temperature for the driver's and passenger's side separately, using the desired temperature control dial. The passenger's side temperature setting does not synchronize to the driver's side at any time except when the system is in the defroster mode (see page 155 ). CONTINUED The system automatically selects the proper mix of conditioned and/or heated air that will, as quickly as possible, raise or lower the interior temperature to your preference. Temperature Control When you set either side temperature to its lower limit ( ) or its upper limit ( ), the system runs at full cooling or heating only. It does not regulate the interior temperature. When you press a fan control button, the fan is taken out of AUTO mode. Features The driver's and passenger's side temperatures should always be set separately. Turn the desired dial clockwise to increase the airflow temperature of that side, and counterclockwise to decrease it. 153 2009 Ridgeline
