AUTO
This function automatically regulates the Electronic Climate Control system so that the selected temperatures are
maintained. The blower, heating, air distribution (air flow) and air conditioning are controlled. If you prefer to
manually set any of these functions, the remaining functions will still be controlled automatically. Pressing the AUTO
button overrides any settings that were previously made manually.
Temperature
These controls are used to individually set the temperature for both sides of the passenger compartment. Please note
that the compartment will not be heated or cooled faster by setting the temperature higher or lower than necessary.
Set the control to the temperature you prefer.
Defroster
This function demists/de-ices the windshield and front side windows. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate
that the defrost function is engaged. Blower speed increases automatically and the air in the passenger compartment is
dehumidified. Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged.

Recirculation
Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the passenger compartment recirculates - no fresh air
enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the function is engaged.
· Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/cool the car quickly.
· Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make sure that the
recirculation function is switched off.
· Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.
· Timer function: (cars equipped with the optional Interior Quality system do not have the timer function)
Pressing and holding the switch for at least 3 seconds activates a timer function. The LED in the switch will flash for
approximately 5 seconds. Recirculation will then always operate for periods of 5 to 12 minutes, depending on the
ambient temperature, after which it will switch off automatically. Pressing the switch at any time during the
recirculation period will disengage the function and allow fresh air into the passenger compartment.
Press and hold the switch again for at least 3 seconds to return the button to its original function (i.e., recirculation will
remain on until you switch it off).
Blower control
Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing the AUTO switch
will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment.
NOTE: Turning the blower control counterclockwise as far as possible (an LED next to the control will light up) will
turn both the blower and the air conditioning off.
