and fan speed after the preferred tempera-
ture is set manually.
1. Push the “AUTO” button on. (The
indicator on the button will illuminate
and AUTO will be displayed.)
2. Turn the temperature control dial (dri-
ver side) to set the desired tempera-

The temperature can be set within
the following range.
— For U.S.: 60 to 908F

.
The temperature of the passenger
compartment will be maintained
automatically. Air flow distribution
and fan speed will also be controlled
automatically.
3. You can individually set driver and front
passenger side temperature using each
temperature control button. When the
“DUAL” button is pushed or the pas-
senger side temperature control button

recirculate mode will automatically be
turned off.

performance.
