7-2 Climate Controls
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic): The system
automatically controls fan speed, air
delivery, and air conditioning in
order to heat or cool the vehicle to
the desired temperature. When the
indicator light is on, the system is in
full automatic operation. If the air
delivery mode or fan setting is
manually adjusted, the auto
indicator turns off and displays will
show the selected settings.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature to a
comfortable setting between
21°C (70°F) and 27°C (80°F).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting will not
cause the system to heat or cool
any faster.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold
weather, the system delays
turning on the fan until warm air
is available. The system starts
out blowing air at the floor, but
can automatically change modes
as the vehicle warms up to
maintain the chosen temperature
setting. The length of time
needed for warm up depends on
the outside temperature and the
length of time that has elapsed
since the vehicle was last driven.
3. Wait for the system to regulate.
This may take from 10 to
30 minutes. Then adjust the
temperature, if necessary.
