DUAL AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
1.
AUTO/Driver temperature:
Press to engage full automatic
operation. The system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow
distribution, A/C on or off, and outside or recirculated air, to heat or
cool the vehicle to reach the desired temperature. Turn to
increase/decrease the temperature on the driver side of the vehicle.
The control also adjusts the passenger side temperature when PASS
TEMP is disengaged. The recommended initial setting is between
72°F (22°C) and 75°F (24°C), then adjust for comfort. The driver
side temperature setting will appear in the upper left corner of the
display. The engine may run continuously to provide A/C operation
unless ECON mode is selected. Selecting ECON mode affects A/C
operation. Refer to ECON information later in this section.

Rear defroster:
Press to activate/deactivate the rear window
defroster. Refer to
Rear window defroster
later in this chapter for
more information.

Defrost:
Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster vents and demister vents. Can be used to clear the
windshield of fog and thin ice. The system will automatically provide
outside air to reduce window fogging. On days where the outside
temperature is approximately freezing or higher, the engine will run
continuously in this mode. Press this button again to return to the
previous air flow selection or press AUTO to return to full automatic
control.
