Use the steps below to place the entire system in
automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning
operation and air inlet mode will be automatically
controlled. The air conditioning compressor will run
when the outside temperature is over approximately

outside air. If it's hot outside, the air inlet will
automatically switch to recirculate inside air to help
quickly cool down your vehicle.

temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes
for the system to regulate. Turn the driver's or
passenger's side temperature knob to adjust the
temperature setting as necessary. If you choose the
temperature setting of 60ÉF (15ÉC), the system
will remain at the maximum cooling setting. If you
choose the temperature setting of 90ÉF (32ÉC),
the system will remain at the maximum heat setting.
Choosing either maximum setting may not cause
the vehicle to heat or cool any faster.
