Heating and air conditioning manually
In this case, the system works sequentially according to the order of buttons selected.
For improving the effectiveness of heating and cooling;
-
Heating:
-
Cooling:
If air conditioning is desired, turn the air conditioning system on.
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, F)
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, F)
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.
Controlling the vents
You can adjust the direction of air delivery from these vents using the vent control lever as shown.
To close the vent, push the air vent lever in the opposite direction of the passenger.
To open the vent, push the air vent lever in the same direction of the passenger.
Temperature control
The temperature will increase to the maximum (HI) by turning the knob all the way to the right.
The temperature will decrease to the minimum (Lo) by turning the knob all the way to the left.
When turning the knob, the temperature will increase or decrease by 0.5 °C/1 °F. When set to the lowest temperature setting, the air conditioning will operate continuously.
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.
Adjusting the driver and passenger side temperature equally
-
Press the "SYNC" button to adjust the driver and passenger side temperature equally.
The passenger side temperature will be set to the same temperature as the driver side temperature.
-
Turn the driver side temperature control knob. The driver and passenger side temperature will be adjusted equally.
-
If you rotate the passenger's temperature control knob, the SYNC button is turned off and the passenger side temperature can be operated individually.
Adjusting the driver and passenger side temperature individually
Press the "SYNC" button again to adjust the driver and passenger side temperature individually. The button indicator will turn off.
Changing temperature scale
-
To change the temperature display from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa, press the OFF button, while pressing 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
To change the air intake control position:
-
Push the desired control button.
With the outside (fresh) air position selected, air enters the vehicle from outside and is heated or cooled according to the function selected.
With the recirculated air position selected, air from the passenger compartment will be drawn through the heating system and heated or cooled according to the function selected.
Prolonged operation of the heater in the recirculated air position (without air conditioning selected) may cause fogging of the windshield and side windows and make the air in the passenger compartment 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.
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.
Controlling fan speed
The fan speed can be set to the desired speed by operating the fan speed control button.
-
Press button right for higher speed, or press button left for lower speed.
-
Press the front blower OFF button.
To change the fan speed:
To turn the fan speed control off:
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 ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button is in the ON position.
