Climate Controls
Automatic Climate Control System
You can automatically control the heating, cooling,
and ventilation in your vehicle.
Climate Control Inuence on Hybrid
Operation and Fuel Economy
The climate control system is dependent upon other
vehicle systems for heat and power input. Certain
climate control settings can lead to higher fuel
consumption and/or fewer Auto Stops.The following are climate control settings that use
more fuel:
Normal air conditioning mode.
The defrost mode.
Extreme temperature settings, such as 60°F
(15°C) / 90F (32°C).
High fan speed settings.
The following can help reduce fuel consumption:
Use of the full automatic control method as
described under Automatic Operation.
Use hybrid air conditioning, instead of the
normal air conditioning.
Select a temperature setting that is higher in
hot weather and lower in cold weather.
Only use defrost to clear the windows.
These suggestions will help to reduce fuel
consumption, but may reduce overall comfort.
