Press the AUTO button in order to convert to fully automatic control of the system.
Mode selection
The air flow outlet ports are switched in the following sequence:
Face-Level (B, D, F)
Air flow is directed toward the upper body and face. Additionally, each outlet can be controlled to direct the air discharged from the outlet.
Bi-Level (B, C, D, E, F)
Air flow is directed towards the face and the floor.
Floor-Level (A, C, D, E)
Most of the air flow is directed to the floor, with a small amount of the air being directed to the windshield, side window defrosters and side air vents.
Floor/Defrost-Level (A, C, D, E)
Most of the air flow is directed to the floor and the windshield with a small amount directed to the side window defrosters and side air vents.
Defrost-Level (A, D)
Most of the air flow is directed to the windshield with a small amount of air directed to the side window defrosters and side air vents.
Defrost mode
When you select the defrost mode, the following system settings will be made automatically:
-
The air conditioning system will be turned on.
-
The outside (fresh) air position will be selected.
-
The fan speed will be set to the high speed.
To turn the defrost mode off, press the mode button or defrost button again or AUTO button.
Instrument panel vents
You can adjust the direction of air delivery from these vents using the vent control lever as shown.
Temperature control
Press the temperature control button and turn the temperature control switch to the desired temperature.
When pressing the button, the temperature will increase or decrease by 1 °F (0.5 °C).When set to the lowest temperature setting, the air conditioning will operate continuously. (for type A)
When rotating the knob, the temperature will increase or decrease by 1 °F (0.5 °C).When set to the lowest temperature setting, the air conditioning will operate continuously. (for type B)
When starting the vehicle in cold weather using manual temperature control, operate the system in the following method to improve heating.
-
Turn off or lower the blower, right after starting the engine.
-
Allow the engine to warm up during this time since the air flow from the heater is still cold.
-
After a few minutes of engine warm up, turn on or set the fan to a higher level and adjust the temperature setting to hot.
Changing temperature scale
You can switch the temperature mode from Centigrade to Fahrenheit as follows:
-
While pressing the OFF button, press the AUTO button for 3 seconds or more.
The display will change from Centigrade to Fahrenheit, or from Fahrenheit to Centigrade. If the battery has been discharged or disconnected, the temperature mode display will reset to Fahrenheit.
Controlling air intake
This is used to select the outside (fresh) air position or recirculated air position.
To change the air intake control position:
-
Push the desired control button.
Prolonged operation of the heater in the recirculated air position (without air conditioning selected) may cause fogging of the windshield and side windows and the air within the passenger compartment may become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air conditioning with the recirculated air position selected will result in excessively dry air in the passenger compartment.
-
Continued climate control system operation in the recirculated air position may allow humidity to increase inside the vehicle which may fog the glass and obscure visibility.
-
Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating system on. It may cause serious harm or death due to a drop in the oxygen level and/or body temperature.
-
Continued climate control system operation in the recirculated air position can cause drowsiness or sleepiness, and loss of vehicle control. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position as much as possible while driving.
Controlling fan speed
The fan speed can be set to the desired speed by operating the fan speed control button.
To change the fan speed:
-
The higher the fan speed, the more air is delivered.
To turn the fan speed control off:
-
Press the OFF button.
Air conditioning (A/C)
-
Press the A/C button to turn the air conditioning system on (indicator light will appear).
-
Press the button again to turn the air conditioning system off.
Reduced Visibility
Continuous use of the climate control system in the recirculated air position may allow humidity to increase inside the vehicle, which may fog the glass and obscure visibility.
Recirculated Air
Continued use of the climate control system in the recirculated air position can cause drowsiness or sleepiness, and loss of vehicle control. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position as much as possible while driving.
Sleeping with A/C on
Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating on as this may cause serious harm or death due to a drop in the oxygen level and/or body temperature.
Turning off the front air climate control
-
Press the OFF button to turn off the front and rear air climate control system.
However, you can still operate the mode and air intake buttons as long as the ENGINE START/STOP button is in the ON position.
