−4°F (−20°C).
• When the A/C is in Normal Mode.
• A/C is in Hybrid Mode and the climate control
system is working to cool the vehicle. See
Automatic Climate Control System on
page 154 for more information.

fuel economy by limiting the effects of the air
conditioning. The warmer it is outside, the
shorter the time before the engine is restarted
to provide cabin cooling.

defog/defrost) See Automatic Climate Control
System on page 154 for more information.
