The automatic climate control
system in your Acura picks the
proper combination of air condi-
tioning, heating, and ventilation to
maintain the interior temperature
you select. The system also adjusts
the fan speed and air flow levels.
The direction of air f low f rom the
vents in the center and each side of
the dashboard, and in back of the
center console is adjustable.For the climate control system to
provide heating and cooling, the
engine must be running. The climate control system draws air
through the exterior vents at the
bottom of the windshield. Keep
these vents clear of leaves and other
debris.
To adjust the air flow from each vent,
move the tab in the center of each
vent up-and-down and side-to-side.
The side and rear vents can be
opened and closed with the dials.
