Controls in detail
Climate control
The climate control is operational whenev-
er the engine is running. You can operate
the climate control system in either the au-
tomatic or manual mode. The system cools
or heats the interior depending on the se-
lected interior temperature and the cur-
rent outside temperature.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants and
odors are filtered out before outside air en-
ters the passenger compartment through
the air distribution system.
The air conditioning will not engage (no
cooling) if the AC
OFF
mode is selected
(
୴ page 157).
Setting the temperature
Use temperature controls 2 and 3 to sepa-
rately adjust the air temperature on each
side of the passenger compartment. You
should raise or lower the temperature set-
ting in small increments, preferably start-
ing at 72°F (22°C).
Increasing
̈ Turn the temperature control a few de-
grees to the right.
The climate control system will corre-
spondingly adjust the interior air tem-
perature.
Decreasing
̈ Turn the temperature control a few de-
grees to the left.
The climate control system will corre-
spondingly adjust the interior air tem-
perature.
