Outside Air Temperature Display
A new outside temperature reading is displayed if
the vehicle has been off for more than three hours.
If the vehicle has been off for less than three hours,
the old temperature reading may be displayed because
underhood heat is affecting the true outside temperature.
Underhood heat can also affect the outside temperature
while the engine is running. It may also take several
minutes of driving before the display updates to
the actual outside temperature.
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.
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.
