Climate Control SystemUsing Automatic Climate ControlThe automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature you select.

while using the climate control system in AUTO, the
function of the button/icon that was pressed will take
priority.

unrelated to the button/icon that was pressed will be
controlled automatically.
During the Auto Idle Stop, the air conditioning
system will be turned off.
To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the
fan may operate at low speed for a while after the
AUTO button has been pressed.
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 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.
Pressing the button switches the climate control
system between on and off. When turned on, the
system returns to your last selection.Models with Auto Idle StopAll models
