Automatic Climate Control
Note:
Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is not
necessary. Automatic mode is best
recommended to maintain set temperature.
Note: The system adjusts to heat or cool the
interior to the temperature you select as
quickly as possible.
Note: For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note: If you select AUTO during cold outside
temperatures, the system directs air flow to
the windshield and side window air vents. In
addition, the blower motor may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up.
Note: If you select
AUTO during hot
temperatures and the inside of the vehicle
is hot, the system uses recirculated air to
maximize interior cooling. Blower motor
speed may also reduce until the air cools.

1. Press and release
AUTO. 2. Adjust the temperature function to the
setting you prefer.
Recommended Settings for Heating

Particulate Matter Pollution
Information
PM2.5 is particulate patter pollution smaller
than 2.5 microns in size in the air.
PM2.5 particles can include cigarette smoke,
road level pollution, industrial pollution, and
some allergens.
The numbers provided by the cabin PM2.5
sensor are estimates of the concentrations
of particles in the cabin air. The
measurement unit is µg/m3, representing
mass (micrograms of particulates) per unit of
air volume (cubic meter of air).
The colors around the PM2.5 numbers
provide visual cues about the concentration
levels.
Note:
PM2.5 is only one pollution type
contributing to an Air Quality Index and by
itself does not represent the Air Quality
Index. AUTO AIR REFRESH INDICATORS
(IF EQUIPPED)
The indicator area is on the touchscreen
feature bar and displays one of the following: Indicates blower motor is on for
filtering and PM2.5 is low.

90 seconds to help flow outside air into the
cabin.
Refreshing the Interior Air Upon Start

temperature while parked for over 30
minutes, when you start the engine the
climate control system settings could change
for approximately 60 seconds to help flow
outside air into the cabin.
