1Using Automatic Climate Control

If any buttons are pressed while using the climate control system in AUTO, the function of the button that was pressed will take priority. The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions unrelated to the button that was pressed will be controlled automatically.

The compressor may turn on to prevent window fogging, even if the display reads A/C OFF.

To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the fan may not start immediately when the AUTO button is pressed.

Once you have set the desired temperature, do not use the temperature control dials more than necessary. Doing so may delay the time it takes to reach the set temperature.

If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down more rapidly by partially opening the windows, turning the system on AUTO, and setting the temperature to low. Change the fresh air mode to recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.

When you set the temperature to the lower or upper limit, Lo or Hi is displayed.
