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.

Rear defroster: Press to activate/deactivate the rear window
defroster. Refer to Rear window defroster later in this chapter for

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.
