WARNING
●
The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
● Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
● Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
Start the engine and operate the controls to
activate the air conditioner.

NOTE:● Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
● When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling or heating (auto)
This mode may be normally used all year round as
the system automatically works to keep a con-
stant temperature. Air flow distribution and fan
speed are also controlled automatically.
1. Press the AUTO button on.
2. Turn the temperature dial to the left or right to set the desired temperature. Driver and
passenger temperatures can be set inde-
pendently. Press DUAL to activate dual cli-
mate control functions. Turn the passenger’s
side temperature control dial to the left or
right to set the desired passenger’s tem-
perature. ●
Adjust the temperature dial to about 75°F
(24°C) for normal operation.
● The temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution, fan speed and A/C on/off
are also controlled automatically.
● A visible mist may be seen coming from the
vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a mal-
function.
Heating (A/C OFF)
The air conditioner does not activate. When you
need to heat only, use this mode.
1. Press the AUTO button. The indicator light comes on.
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the desired temperature.
● The temperature of the passenger compart-
ment will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
● Do not set the temperature lower than the
outside air temperature. Otherwise, the sys-
tem may not work properly.
● Not recommended if windows fog up.
Dehumidified defrosting or defogging
1. Press the defroster control buttonto
turn the system on. The indicator light in the
button will illuminate.
2. Turn the temperature dial to the left or right to set the desired temperature.
● To quickly remove ice from the outside of the
windows, turn the manual fan control to the
maximum position.
● As soon as possible after the windshield is
clean, press the AUTO button to return to
the auto mode.
● When the
control is activated, the air
conditioner will automatically be turned on at
outside temperatures above 36°F (2°C) . If in
defrost mode for more than 1 minute, the air
conditioning system will continue to operate
until the fan control is turned OFF, the ve-
hicle is shut off or the A/C button is used to
turn off the compressor even if an air flow
button other than
is selected. This
dehumidifies the air which helps defog the
windshield. The air recirculation mode auto-
matically turns off, allowing outside air to be
drawn into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging performance.

MANUAL OPERATION
Fan speed control dial
Turn the fan speed control dialleft or right
to manually control the fan speed or turn the
system on or off.
Press the AUTO button to return to automatic
control of the fan speed.
Air recirculation
Push the air recirculation buttonto recir-
culate interior air inside the vehicle. Push the
AUTO button to return to automatic mode.
The air recirculation button will not be activated
when the air conditioner is in DEF, floor, or
floor/defrost mode.
Fresh air intake (if so equipped)
Press thefresh air intake button to draw
outside air into the passenger compartment.
The
indicator light on the button will come
on.
Air flow control
Press the air flow control buttons to manually
control air flow and select the air outlet:
— Air flows from center and side
vents.
— Air flows from center and sidevents and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from foot outlets.
— Air flows from defroster and footoutlets.
— Air flows from defroster outlets.
To turn system off
Press the/OFF button.
Outside mirror defroster switch (if so
equipped)
For additional information about the outside mir-
ror defroster switch, refer to “Rear window or
outside mirror defroster switch” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this manual.
OPERATING TIPS
●When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is
not a malfunction. After the coolant tempera-
ture warms up, air flow from the foot outlets
will operate normally. The sunload sensor
1, located on the top center
of the instrument panel, helps the system main-
tain a constant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around this sensor.

Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position
(usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter) , static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the
treble control to reduce treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected
signals reach the receiver at the same time. The
signals may cancel each other, resulting in mo-
mentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM RADIO RECEPTION
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics, AM signals are also sub-
ject to interference as they travel from transmitter
to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION (if so
equipped)
When the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a mal-
function. Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite
radio ON and the vehicle outside of any metal or
large building for satellite radio to receive all of
the necessary data.
No satellite radio reception is available and “NO
SAT” is displayed when the SAT band option is
selected unless optional satellite receiver and
antenna are installed and a SiriusXM® Satellite
Radio service subscription is active. Satellite ra-
dio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite radio
signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite
antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna can
affect satellite radio performance. Remove the
ice to restore satellite radio reception.
