Dual Automatic Climate Control
System
With this system you can control the heating, cooling,
and ventilation for the vehicle.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic): Press the AUTO button for
automatic control of the inside temperature, the
air delivery mode, and the fan speed. There might
be a delay of two to three minutes before the fan
comes on when the automatic operation is used
in cold weather. For the automatic system to function,
the temperature must be set between 61°F (15°C)
and 89°F (32°C).
1. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting.
2. Press the PASS button or the up or down arrows
on the passenger side to turn the passenger
temperature set on and off. When turned on, the
passenger temperature will be the same as the driver
setting. Press the up or down arrow on passenger
side to adjust the passenger temperature setting.
When the passenger’s temperature set is off, the
passenger display will be off and the driver’s
set temperature will be for the driver and passenger.
In cold weather, the system will start at reduced
fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into the vehicle
until warmer air is available. The system will start
out blowing air at the floor but may change
modes automatically as the vehicle warms up to
maintain the chosen temperature setting. The length
of time needed for warm up will depend on the
outside temperature and the length of time that has
elapsed since the vehicle was last driven.
