Use the steps below to place the entire system in
automatic mode:
1. Place the fan knob and the mode knob
to AUTO.
The display will now show the current set
temperature. When auto is selected, the air
conditioning operation and air inlet will be
automatically controlled. The air conditioning
compressor will run when the outside
temperature is over about 40°F (4°C). The air
inlet will normally be set to outside air. If it’s hot
outside, the air inlet may automatically switch to
recirculate inside air to help quickly cool down
your vehicle.
2. Set the temperature.
To find your comfort setting, start with an initial
temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes
for the system to regulate. Press the up or
down arrow temperature buttons to adjust
the temperature setting as necessary.
If you choose the temperature setting of 60°F
(15°C) the system will remain at the maximum
cooling setting. If you choose the temperature
setting of 90°F (32°C) the system will remain at
the maximum heat setting. Choosing either
maximum setting will not cause the vehicle to
heat or cool any faster.
Be careful not to cover the sensor located
on the top of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor regulates air
temperature based on sun load, and also
turns on your headlamps.
Also be careful not to cover the sensor grille
on the lower right side of the climate control
faceplate. This senses the inside vehicle
temperature needed for proper regulation.
To avoid blowing cold air at start-up in cold
weather, the system will delay turning on the
fan until warm air is available. The length
of delay depends on the engine coolant
temperature. Turning the fan knob will
override this delay and change the fan
to a selected speed.
