Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control
The Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control system allows you to set separate temperatures

the climate settings.

system except defogging. Press “AUTO” to activate. Press “OFF” to turn off the
system.
2Temperature Control Dial:Turn the dial clockwise to increase the temperature or
counterclockwise to decrease the temperature. The temperature will appear on the
screen. You can adjust separate temperature settings for the driver’s side and
passenger’s side.
3Tri-Zone Temperature SYNC Button:Press the button to synchronize the driver’s,
passenger’s and rear temperatures to the driver’s temperature control dial.
When using automatic mode, the fan speed, airflow distribution, air-inlet control and air
conditioning compressor are controlled automatically. To activate:
1. Press the “AUTO” button. The “FULL AUTO” indicator light illuminates on the climate
control display.
2. Set the preferred temperature using the temperature control dial.
If you operate any of the buttons other than “ON/OFF”, rear window defogger, “SYNC”, or
the temperature control dial, the “FULL” indicator light will turn off. The “AUTO” light will
remain illuminated. You can then manually control the system as desired. Press the
