Climate Control System*
Using Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature you select. 
The system also selects the proper mix of heated or cooled air that will as quickly as 
possible, raise or lower the interior  temperature to your preference.
Use the system when the engine is running.
1. Press the  AUTO button.
2. Adjust the interior temperature using the driver’s side or passenger’s side 
temperature control switch.
3. Press the    ON/OFF button to cancel.1Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are presse d while using the climate 
control system in auto, the function of the button 
that was pressed will take priority.
The  AUTO  indicator will go off, but functions 
unrelated to the button th at was pressed will be 
controlled automatically.
During the Auto Idle-stop, the air conditioning 
system will be turned off.
To prevent cold air from bl owing in from outside, the 
fan may operate at low speed for a while after the 
AUTO  button has been pressed.
Once you have set the de sired temperature, do not 
use the temperature control switches more than 
necessary.
Doing so may delay the time it takes to reach the set 
temperature.
If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down 
more rapidly by partial ly opening the windows, 
turning the system on auto, and setting the 
temperature to low. Change the fresh mode to 
recirculation mode  until the temperature cools down.
When you set the temperat ure to the lower or upper 
limit,  Lo or  Hi is displayed.
Pressing the   ON/OFF  button switches the 
climate control system be tween on and off. When 
turned on, the system returns to your last selection.
