The system also adjusts the fan speed and airflow levels. 1. Press the Driver’s or Passenger’s AUTO button. You will see AUTO and the selected temperature on the appropriate side of the display (in the center display on models with navigation system). 2. Set the desired temperature with the temperature control switch. You can set the driver’s side temperature and the passenger’s side temperature separately. The system automatically selects the proper mix of conditioned and/or heated air that will, as quickly as possible, raise or lower the interior temperature to your preference. The system also dehumidifies the interior. TemperatureControl The driver’s side temperature and the passenger’s side temperature can be set separately. Push up the switch of the appropriate temperature control to increase the temperature of airflow. Push down the switch to decrease it. Each set temperature is shown in the display (in the center display on models with navigation system). 2012 TL11/01/14 18:33:32 31TK4630_234 When you set the temperature to its lower limit ( ) or its upper limit cooling or heating only.

This will take the mode control out of AUTO mode. Onmodelswithnavigationsystem In AUTO mode, the vehicle’s interior temperature is independently regulated for the driver and front passenger according to each adjusted temperature. The system also regulates each temperature based on the information of the sunlight sensor and the sun’s Climate Control System position which is updated automatically by the navigation’s global positioning system (GPS). If one side of the vehicle is getting too much sun, the system lowers the temperature only on that side. ON/OFFButton Each time you press this button, the climate control system switches between on and off. Turning on the system with this button selects your last climate control selection. SYNCButton When you press this button, the indicator in the button comes on, and the passenger’s side temperature and mode control is synchronized to the driver’s side set temperature and mode control. Changing the passenger’s side temperature or mode control makes the indicator go off and takes the system out of SYNC mode.

RecirculationButton When the indicator in the button is on, air from the vehicle’s interior is sent through the system again. When the indicator is off, air is brought in from the outside of the vehicle (fresh air mode). The outside air intakes for the climate control system are at the base of the windshield. Keep this area clear of leaves and other debris. The system should be left in fresh air mode under almost all conditions. Keeping the system in recirculation mode, particularly with the A/C off, can cause the windows to fog up. Switch to recirculation mode when driving through dusty or smoky conditions, then return to fresh air mode. 2012 TL11/01/14 18:34:06 31TK4630_236 Air flows from the floor vents.
