AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(ATC)
Automatic Operation

1. Push the AUTO button on the front ATC panel
and the word “AUTO” will illuminate in the
front ATC display, along with two
temperatures for the driver and front
passenger. The system will then automat -
ically regulate the amount of airflow.

2. Adjust the temperature you would like the system to maintain, by adjusting the driver,
and passenger temperatures. Once the
desired temperature is displayed, the system
will achieve and automatically maintain that
comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort level, it is not necessary to change the
settings. You will experience the greatest
efficiency by simply allowing the system to
function automatically.
NOTE:It is not necessary to move the temperature
settings. The system automatically adjusts the
temperature, mode, and fan speed to provide
comfort as quickly as possible.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the
automatic mode, during cold start-ups, the blower
fan will remain on low until the engine warms up.
The fan will engage immediately if the Defrost
mode is selected, or by changing the front blower
knob setting.
Manual Operation Override
This system offers a full complement of manual
override features. The AUTO symbol in the front
ATC display will be turned off when the system is
being used in the manual mode.
CLIMATE VOICE RECOGNITION

your vehicle. Voice Command will not work to
adjust the heated seats or steering wheel if
equipped.
OPERATING TIPS
Refer to the chart at the end of this section for
suggested control settings for various weather
conditions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected with
a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper
corrosion protection and to protect against engine
overheating. OAT coolant (conforming to
MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and defroster
performance, make sure the engine cooling
system is functioning properly and the proper
amount, type, and concentration of coolant is
used. Use of the Air Recirculation mode during
Winter months is not recommended, because it
may cause window fogging.

Vacation/Storage
For information on maintaining the Climate Control
system when the vehicle is being stored for an
extended period of time, see Úpage 286.
Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild,
rainy, and/or humid weather. To clear the
windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and increase
the front blower speed. Do not use the
Recirculation mode without A/C for long periods,
as fogging may occur.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of
the windshield, is free of obstructions, such as
leaves. Leaves collected in the air intake may
reduce airflow, and if they enter the air distribution
box, they could plug the water drains. In Winter
months, make sure the air intake is clear of ice,
slush, and snow.
Cabin Air Filter
The Climate Control system filters out dust and
pollen from the air. Contact an authorized dealer to
service your cabin air filter, and to have it replaced
when needed.
System Maintenance
In Winter, the Climate Control system must be
turned on at least once a month for approximately
10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized dealer
before the Summer.
NOTE:The system uses R-1234yf (refrigerant) which does
not pollute the environment in the event of acci -
dental leakage. Under no circumstances is the use
of R-134a (refrigerant) allowed.
Rapid Window Demisting (MAX-Defrost
Function)
Push the MAX-defrost button to activate (LED on)
the windshield and side window demisting
function.
The Climate Control system carries out the
following operations:
Turns on the air conditioning compressor when
environmental conditions are suitable
Turns air recirculation off
Sets blower fan to the maximum speed and
displays the fan speed (Blower Control Indicator
LED illuminated)
Directs air flow to windshield and front side
window diffusers
Activates the heated rear window defrost
Activates the heated windshield (if equipped)
When the function is activated, the AUTO button
LED turns off. With the function activated, the only
possible manual adjustments are pushing the A/C
control button, adjusting the fan speed and turning
the heated rear window off.
When the Recirculation Control or AUTO buttons
are pushed, the Climate Control system will
deactivate the Front Defrost (MAX-DEF) function.
Selecting the footwell/windshield or only
windshield distribution activates the Climate
Control system compressor and the air
recirculation is set to outside air intake.
