Passenger’s Temperature Control

The PASSENGER CONTROL buttons with the arrows
adjust the temperature on the passenger’s side so that it
is warmer or cooler than the temperature for the driver’s
side. Push the DUAL button so that the indicator light is
lit. Press the right arrow button to raise the temperature.
Press the left arrow button to lower the temperature. The
display will not show the passenger’s temperature, only
that of the driver. Indicators in the passenger control
section will show passenger’s side temperature relative
to the driver’s set temperature.

Hot Weather Example: When you start the vehicle in
hot weather, 80

_

F (27

_

C) or after being parked during the

day in full sun, if your driver set temperature is 75

_

F

(24

_

C) and you are in full automatic mode, the system

will automatically move the temperature to full cold. 

The fan will be at low speed momentarily and then go to
the high speed. The air intake will be recirculated for
maximum cooling performance. As the interior of the
vehicle cools down to your desired comfort point, the fan
speed will decrease and the temperature will move to a
warmer position to maintain your desired comfort. As the
interior cools down or the sun load decreases the system
could switch to air delivered to A/C vents and the floor.

Cold Weather Example: When you start the vehicle in
cold weather, (below freezing) or after being parked
overnight. If your Driver Set Temperature is 75

_

F

(24

_

C) and you are in Full Automatic mode, the system

will automatically move the temperature doors to full
hot. The fan will start out at a low speed and will
increase to a higher speed as the engine warms up. The
air will be delivered to the floor. As the the interior of
the vehicle warms up to your desired comfort point, the
fan speed will decrease and the temperature will move
to a cooler position to maintain your desired comfort. As
the cabin warms up or the sun load increases the system
could switch to air delivered to the windshield and the
floor (DEFOG mode).
