Automatic Operation AUTO (Automatic): When automatic operation is active, the system controls the air delivery mode, fan speed, and temperature inside the vehicle. Use the steps below to place the entire system in automatic mode: 1. Press AUTO. When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning and air inlet are automatically controlled. The air conditioning compressor will run continuously when the outside temperature is over approximately 40°F (4°C). The air inlet will normally be set to outside air. If it is hot outside, the air inlet automatically changes to recirculate inside air to help quickly cool down the vehicle. 2. Set the driver's and passenger's temperature. To find your comfort setting, start with a 72°F (22°C) temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to adjust. Turn the driver or passenger side temperature knob to adjust the temperature setting as necessary. If a temperature setting of 60°F (15°C) is chosen, the system will remain at the maximum cooling setting. If a temperature setting of 90°F (32°C) is chosen, the system remains at the maximum heat setting. Choosing either maximum setting may not cause the vehicle to heat or cool any faster. 3-20 Manual Operation 9 (Off): Press to turn off the entire climate control system. Outside air still enters the vehicle, and will be directed to the floor. The system turns on by pressing either AUTO, air delivery mode, fan control, or by adjusting either temperature knob. Driver's Side Temperature Knob: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the temperature on the driver side of the vehicle. The display will show the temperature setting decreasing or increasing and an arrow pointing toward the driver. This knob can also adjust the passenger side temperature setting if the two are linked. Passenger Side Temperature Knob: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle. The display will show the temperature setting decreasing or increasing and an arrow pointing toward the passenger. The passenger temperature setting can be set to match and link to the driver's temperature setting by pressing and holding the AUTO button for three seconds. When adjusting the driver side temperature setting, the passenger side temperature setting will follow and both arrows will appear on the display. The passenger side temperature setting also resets and re-links to the driver side temperature setting if the vehicle has been off for more than three hours.
