the interior temperature to your preference as quickly as possible.

Use the system when the engine is running.

Adjust the interior temperature using the driver’s side or passenger’s side 
temperature control dial.

Using Automatic Climate Control

If any buttons are pressed while using the climate 
control system in auto, the function of the button 
that was pressed will take priority.

The auto button indicator

 will go 

off, but functions unrelated to the button that were 
pressed will be controlled automatically.

During idle-stops, air-conditioning is suspended, and 
only the blower remains active. If you do not want 
air-conditioning suspended, press the Auto Idle Stop 

OFF

 button to cancel idle-stop.

To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the 
fan may not start immediately when the 

AUTO

button is pressed.

If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down 
more rapidly by partially opening the windows, 
turning the system on auto, and setting the 
temperature to low. Change the fresh air mode to 
recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.

When you set the temperature to the lower or upper 
limit, 

Lo

 or 

Hi

 is displayed.
