To change the air temperature in the passenger compartment, press the lever up for warm and hot air or down for cooler air.

NOTE

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 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.
