Automatic Operation
The system automatically controls the fan speed, air
delivery, and air conditioning in order to heat or cool the
vehicle to the desired temperature.
To place the system in automatic mode do the following:
AUTO (Automatic Mode):
1. Turn the fan and mode controls to the AUTO
position. This also sets the recirculation mode
to automatic operation on the display.
2. Press the up or down arrows to adjust the
temperature to a comfortable setting between
70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C).
3. Allow the system time to stabilize. This might take
several minutes in very hot or cold weather. Then
adjust the temperature, as needed for best comfort.
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any
faster. In cold weather, the system starts at reduced
fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into the vehicle
until warmer air is available. The automatic system
starts out blowing air at the floor, but changes modes
automatically as the vehicle warms up to maintain the
chosen temperature setting. The length of time
needed to warm the interior depends on the outside
temperature and the amount of time that has passed
since the vehicle was last driven.
