DUAL AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
1. AUTO/Driver temperature: Press to engage full automatic
operation. The system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow
distribution, A/C on or off, and outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool
the vehicle to reach the desired temperature. Turn to increase/decrease
the temperature on the driver side of the vehicle. The control also
adjusts the passenger side temperature when PASS TEMP is disengaged.
The recommended initial setting is between 72°F (22°C) and 75°F
(24°C), then adjust for comfort. The driver side temperature setting will
appear in the upper left corner of the display. The engine may run
continuously to provide A/C operation unless ECON mode is selected.
Selecting ECON mode affects A/C operation. Refer to ECON information
later in this section.

Defrost: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster
vents and demister vents. Can be used to clear the windshield of fog and
thin ice. The system will automatically provide outside air to reduce
window fogging. On days where the outside temperature is
approximately freezing or higher, the engine will run continuously in this
mode. Press this button again to return to the previous air flow selection
or press AUTO to return to automatic operation.
