Climate Controls
When AUTO is pressed, the A/C and heat
settings are automatically chosen based on
the set temperature and outside conditions.
Selecting AUTO optimizes comfort and
system efficiency. It is highly recommended

compromise cabin comfort. When enabled,
the climate controls remain in AUTO mode
through power cycles.

operation:
1. Press AUTO.

To find your comfort setting, start with
22 °C (72 °F) and allow the system time
to stabilize. Then adjust the temperature
as needed for best comfort.
To improve energy efficiency and to cool the
vehicle faster, recirculation may be
automatically selected in warm weather.

when automatically controlled. Press
