• Airflow temperature • Amount of airflow • Selection of airflow mode • Outside/Recirculated air selection • Air conditioner operation

NOTE

AUTO switch indicator light

• When on, it indicates auto operation, and the system will function automatically.

• If any of the following dials or switches are operated while in auto control, the AUTO switch indicator turns off.

• Mode selector switch • Fan control dial • Windshield defroster switch The functions for dials and switches other than those operated in the above continue to operate in auto control.

OFF switch

Pressing the OFF switch shuts off the climate control system.

Temperature control dial

This dial controls temperature. Turn it clockwise for hot and counterclockwise for cold.

• When the DUAL switch is off: Turn the driver temperature control dial to control the temperature throughout the entire cabin.

• When the DUAL switch is on: Turn the driver or front passenger temperature control dial to independently control the temperature on each side of the cabin.

NOTE

• The system changes to the individual operation mode (DUAL switch indicator light illuminated) by turning the front passenger temperature control dial even when the DUAL switch is off, which allows individual control of the set temperature for the driver and front passenger.

• The temperature units for the temperature setting display can be changed in conjunction with the temperature units for the outside temperature display. Refer to Outside Temperature Display 2.

Fan control dial

The fan has seven speeds. The selected speed will be displayed.

Mode selector switch

The desired airflow mode can be selected .

NOTE

• With the airflow mode set to the position and the temperature control
dial set at a medium temperature, heated air is directed to the feet and air at a comparably lower temperature will flow through the central, left and right vents.

• To set the air vent to , press the windshield defroster switch.

• In the or
position, the air conditioner is automatically
turned on and the outside air mode is automatically selected to defrost the windshield. In the or
position, the outside air mode cannot
be changed to the recirculated air mode.

A/C switch

Pressing the A/C switch while the AUTO switch is turned on will turn off the air conditioning (cooling/dehumidifying functions).

The air conditioning can be turned on and off by pressing the A/C switch while the fan control dial is on.

NOTE

• The air conditioning operates when the A/C switch is pressed even if the fan is off.

• The air conditioner may not function when the outside temperature approaches 0 °C (32 °F). (Indicator light remains on even when system is off.)

Air intake selector

Outside or recirculated air positions can be selected. Press the switch to select outside/recirculated air positions.

Recirculated air position ( )

Use this position when going through tunnels, driving in congested traffic (high engine exhaust areas) or when quick cooling is desired.

Outside air position ( )

Use this mode for ventilation or windshield defrosting.

WARNING

Do not use the position in cold
or rainy weather:

Using the position in cold or rainy
weather is dangerous as it will cause the windows to fog up. Your vision will be hampered, which could lead to a serious accident.

DUAL switch

Use the DUAL switch to change the mode between the individual operation (driver and passenger) and interconnection (simultaneous) modes.

Individual operation mode (indicator light illuminated)

The set temperature can be controlled individually for the driver and front passenger.

Interconnection mode (indicator light turned off)

The set temperature for the driver and front passenger is controlled simultaneously.

Windshield defroster switch

Press the switch to defrost the windshield and front door windows.

Operation of Automatic Air Conditioning

1. Press the AUTO switch. Selection of the airflow mode, air intake selector and amount of airflow will be automatically controlled.

2. Use the temperature control dial to select a desired temperature.

Press the DUAL switch or turn the front passenger temperature control dial to control the set temperature individually for the driver and front passenger.

To turn off the system, press the OFF switch.

NOTE

• Setting the temperature to maximum high or low will not provide the desired temperature at a faster rate.

• When selecting heat, the system will restrict airflow until it has warmed to prevent cold air from blowing out of the vents.

Windshield Defrosting and Defogging

Press the windshield defroster switch.

In this position, the outside air position is automatically selected, and the air conditioner automatically turns on. The air conditioner will directly dehumidify the air to the front windshield and side windows . Airflow amount will be increased.

WARNING

Set the temperature control to the hot or warm position when defogging (
position):

Using the position with the temperature
control set to the cold position is dangerous as it will cause the outside of the windshield to fog up. Your vision will be hampered, which could lead to a serious accident.

NOTE

Use the temperature control dial to increase the air flow temperature and defog the windshield more quickly.

Sunlight/Temperature Sensor

The fully automatic air conditioner function measures inside and outside temperatures, and sunlight. It then sets temperatures inside the passenger compartment accordingly.

CAUTION

Do not obstruct either sensor, otherwise the automatic air conditioner will not operate properly.
